Thanks for putting in a plug for this (programmatic access to the ScreenTip text) at the global summit, Matt.

By the way, ScreenTips *do* in fact work in the browser without requiring a postback. The system I'm currently putting together is a "reach-only" solution. All access will be via browser with no clients using the InfoPath client.

Hi MylesRip,

There is no way to access the ScreenTip programmatically, either through code or the designer. This is annoying and last week at the MVP Global Summit I let several members of the InfoPath team at Microsoft know that they should really expose these things as part of the object model.

Lastly, I really doubt that ScreenTips will work in browser-enabled forms since it would take quite a bit of AJAX to do that, and browser forms are just not that developed.

ScreenTip in browser-enabled form

Hi,

Is it possible to set the ScreenTip in code (other than for a button)? Currently I can use the designer to set the ScreenTip for a control to a text string. I have a repeating table that is bound to the main data source. In one of the columns I have a text box bound to a field. I would like to have the ScreenTip for the text box display the value of a related field on the same record. Can this be made to work in a browser-enabled form template?

Thanks in advance!
