Speedtips display for some objects not others

[John G]

I have a simple form using one table. It has the usual navigate buttons (first,prev,next,last) and at one time the speedtips for all buttons worked fine. At some point speedtips for just the buttons quit working.

Speedtips for checkbox, entryfield and radio button work fine. Adding a new button and speedtip for that button does not work. Add a new radiobutton and speedtip and that works fine.

The form has speedtips enabled (true), so I'm stumped.

If I create a new test form, add a single button with a speed tip, that also works. So it must be something with my form and buttons???

Looking for help.

Adding - when? If in the designer, it should work. Adding in code
after the form has been instanced may work. Adding in code after the
form has been opened may well not work as, I believe, speedtips are set
up in the form opening process.

FWIW I often find as mentioned above that if I make certain changes to code as the result of an error which gives me the option to "Fix" - simply fixing the code will not correct the error. After the fix I must restart the code - reinstantiate it - in order to activcate the chamges.

I was referring to adding a new object in the designer. I experimented with adding a new push button to see if the problem was with the form or the button. I also experimented with different objects in an attempt to narrow the possiblities. This was the reason for adding a checkbox, radio button and button via the designer.

I am really looking for any tips or ideas on how to get speedtips to work consistently. Is there perhaps a sequence or best practice to adding them? For example, do you complete most/all other design features and add them last? This shouldn't make a difference but what works best?

Thanks for the help.

Maybe my bug-reports post of 24-Nov-2006 may help.
