• Custom tooltip gif

For each custom tooltip that you want define, you have to:

• Create an XML file for that tooltip,
• add a corresponding image to the image file, and
• create a corresponding tooltip view.

Creating custom tooltip XML files

Open a text editor and add a LuaTooltip element. Save the file as XML in the LuaTooltipPages folder.

Here is an example of a LuaTooltip:

<LuaTooltip Name = "Alignment Info"
            TooltipMode = "ClosestAlignment"
            Description = "Shows local alignment data (geometry, profile, cant, design speed, Vmax etc). Hover over object to activate."
            Icon = "showRelationToolTip">
    <Xaml>Lua\\LuaTooltipPages\\TooltipViews\\NO-BN-AlignmentInfo.xaml</Xaml>
</LuaTooltip>

Make sure that the Xaml element corresponds to a tooltip view file (see below).
