Tooltip for disabled control

[Hans Dietrich]

If you have a control that normally has an associated tooltip, what would you expect to happen if the control was disabled? Should the tooltip still be shown?

Best wishes, Hans

Hi Hans, I've seen disabled controls both with and without tooltips, but if I was coding it I'd be tempted to show the tooltip anyway. regards,

Yes, definitely... If a control, or menu item is disabled but still shows Tooltips, then it gives a good idea of what that button does and saves precious time as we don't have to look into help files...

My vote would be yes also.

Why is common sense not common? Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level where they are an expert. Sometimes it takes a lot of work to be lazy
