JdV Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 8, 2016 #5 Hi Has there been any work to extend the functionality of this library at all? For example it would be nice to be able to control where the tool tip will be displayed. (E.g. always above, always to the right etc.) Also, it would be nice to be able to have a tool tip that fits the entire width of the screen regardless of the width of the edit text field. If work on this library has long since come to a halt, does anyone know of any alternatives available in B4A? (For example, has anyone seen anything like this in the forums?: https://github.com/sephiroth74/android-target-tooltip) Regards Joe
