Tool Tips Please

AmiBroker

Hi Tomasz,

I have a feature suggestion, tool tips for AmiBroker scripts that would pop up when a mouse pointer was floated over the name in the charts tab. For example they could be implemented python style from a special section enclosed in triple quotes at the head of a script. This could contain indicator or system descriptions, or usage notes. This would be hugely helpful as the number of scripts heads towards infinity and I, for one, can't have trouble remembering well farther than three scripts or three weeks back.

Best,

 John

I think Interpretation window is designed for the purpose to deliver indicator/system descriptions and usage notes.

Tomasz,

Hmmm... Either I wasn't clear or I am misunderstanding that feature. In any case, I was thinking about a floating tool tip that would pop up whenever the mouse floated over a script name without having to apply that script.

No need to reply, just a thought.

Best,

 John

Anderson,

That is exactly what I meant and want, but it does not happen on my system. I tried adding

/// test

at the head of a script and get nothing. Is there something else I need to do?

Thanks!

John

Unfortunately this feature does not exist. As @Tomasz did not understand what you suggest, I created a print screen showing him how it would work if exists.

Ok, I thought that you meant when formula is applied.

Like this: add printf to your formula code:

printf("This is an explanation of any kind");

And use Window->Interpretation to see that.

I see, says the blind man! Thank you Anderson, A perfect illustration of what I meant.

Best,

 John
