hlp_set_tip

Opens the "Tip of the Day" window and sets the corresponding text file.


Parameter:

Text file

Text file
Filename of the text file containing the tip text is to be displayed.


Usage as:

On_Select-Userexit in any menu/button area or On_Event userexit in any state of the user interface.


Explanation:

The window displays tip texts from the text file to be passed as parameter. The text file must be in the bin-directory of the DataView client and can contain any number of tip texts. They are to be separated from each other by an end-of-paragraph character. Each call of hlp_set_tip increases the tip counter and loads the subsequent tip text into the "Tip of the Day" window. The current (last called) text file and the current tip counter state will be registered by Windows.

The DataView-internal tip text file is tips.txt in the bin-directory of the DataView client.
