Tooltip in BO extension field

[Paul_Ka]

Hi Experts,

I have a requirement to add a tooltip to a new BO extension field (dropdown box). Normally this would be a simple task but in this particular case I need to control the layout of the text inside the tooltip box due to the VERY long tooltip text.

Does any one now how I can do the line break so I can break my text in paragraphs?

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Paul,

I haven't tried this with tooltips but:

Usually you can use the escape characters below inside strings. From my understanding they should also work with the tooltip annotation.

\n (new line)

\r (carriage return)

\t (tab)

\v (vertical tab)

\f (form feed)

\\ (backslash)

\” (quotation marks)

Best regards,

Ludger

Thanks Ludger, unfortunately that doesn't work.  I have a feeling that this can't be done. In my opinion tooltip in general shouldn't be used to hold an extended amount of text  anyway.

Hello Paul,

Tooltip as well as label are simlpe strings. (Okay, tooltip is longer than label )

But none of them allows such control like line break or similar.

This simply not possible.

Sorry,
