tooltip toggle Topic is solved

[[m]]

I am trying to toggle the tooltip on and off via hotkey. The tooltip is at the bottom right corner when off and when on the tooltip follows the mouse. The problem is it constantly jumps back and forth when toggled. Putting the tooltip outside the SetTimer isn't ideal either as it just covers a part of the screen, this is the reason why i want it in the corner but I'm not sure how to keep it to its place when toggled on or off.

thanks in advance

Code: Select all

SetTimer, run, 0

F6:: t := !t

run:
ToolTip, ., 1920, 1150

FileDelete, C:\some\file\path
FileDelete, C:\more\folders\here
if !t 

ToolTip, .

		ToolTip, % Value ;Follow
	}else{
		ToolTip, % Value , 200 , 200 ;Stay in a fixed position
	}

Np.
There is a good chance that when the tooltip is in a fixed position it doesn't need to be updated every time the timer label gets called.
You can add some logic to check if the value has changed and only then update the tip (As well as updating it when you first toggle it off to display it in it's position )
