[lib] Tippy -- Multiple ToolTips which follow mouse

[TheBestPessimist]

Hello,

I created a ToolTip library which can show multiple tooltips that follow the mouse.
Multiple ToolTips are stacked vertically, so no information is hidden, and they can be displayed for a configurable amount of time.

The library is found here: https git.tbp.land /AutoHotKey-Scripts/blob/master/lib/Tippy.ahk Broken Link for safety

The usage is really simple:

- At the top of your scripts include the ahk file:

Code: Select all

#include lib/Tippy.ahk

- When you want to show a ToolTip, call the function with the text you want to show:

Code: Select all

Tippy("Text to show")

- When you want to set a particular duration or show a specific tooltip you pass multiple parameters:

Code: Select all

Tippy("ToolTip text", 4000, 1) ; text, duration and a unique tooltip number

There also is a bigger example at the bottom of the library.

---

If you find this library useful or have feedback on how to improve it i'm more than happy to hear it!

Seems useful, thanks for sharing!
It does indeed perform better than the default behaviour.

Hello @elModo7 and thanks for checking it out !

I just found a bug where it doesn't work properly when having multiple monitors, but i'll fix that and push to the repo soon.

Pushed. You can test again by moving the cursor in lower right portion of both screens and see if the tooltip moves away.
