ToolTip position not absolute relative to Screen

[rarez]

Hello,

Is there anyone who can help me with making my tooltip position absolute? I've played with CoordMode and Screen though those commands just make the ToolTip disappear.

Here's a sample:

Code: Select all

	^j::
	#SingleInstance Force
	CoordMode, ToolTip, Enabling Something, 1200, 720
	sleep 1400
	ToolTip
	return

[Mod edit: [code][/code] tags added.]

Reordering of commands, brackets & spaces based on the help file aren't helpful, neither anything that I've tried to make sense of from the similar threads in this forum.

When I omit the CoordMode command the ToolTip works, however, its position is changing based on the size of the open window.

I'd really appreciate a slower intro after being discouraged from the help file samples not working as intended...

Thank you

Simon

CoordMode doesn’t get combined with your ToolTip command like you tried to do. It’s a separate command that sets the coordinate mode for subsequent ToolTip commands. It only needs to appear once at the top of your script:

Code: Select all

CoordMode, ToolTip, Screen

Then when you use ToolTip commands, the coordinates specified will be relative to the screen.

The help file doesn’t show anything similar to this:

Code: Select all

 CoordMode, ToolTip, Enabling Something, 1200, 720

Hallo,
try:

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance Force
^j::
CoordMode, ToolTip, Screen
ToolTip, Enabling Something, 1200, 720
sleep 1400
ToolTip
return

Sorry, my bad! Notifications disabled, I was pondering the whole 'friendly forum' concept

Rohwedder - Thanks so much! It worked!

boiler - your reply is very helpful indeed, thank you so much!

Please pardon my dummy text, of course there's nothing like it in the help file. I needed to use 'ToolTip' command twice on separate lines.
