Hi Jeff,

I do something like this in numerous places in DrawKit to show the instantaneous positions, angles and sizes of objects, guides, etc. I use a custom window that emulates the tooltip appearance which gives me a lot of additional flexibility, but it's a pretty simple class. Using it with a standard control like a slider I haven't tried, so that part I can't help with.

The class is GCInfoFloater and it's part of the DK sources.

hth,


Graham

Hi,

I have a slider and while dragging I want to have a tooltip show the current value of the slider and have the tooltip follow the mouse position. GarageBand does this for volume and pan. I've looked around and it doesn't look like you can do it in Cocoa. In Carbon you can do it with HMDisplayTag, but Carbon is going away. Any ideas?

thanks
Jeff
