Description

The CT GET TIPS ATTRIBUTES command returns the attributes of the tips specified by area and object in the variables for the parameters axis, toolbar, status, contents, format, formatX and method.

axis indicates the axes for which tips will be available. This is a composite number resulting from adding several axis numbers. The axis numbers are:

NumberAxis
1Category axis
2Series axis
4Values axis

The toolbar parameter is now obsolete and does not return a significant value.

status indicates the display settings for tips. Tips can be constantly active, active on request (if Ctrl on Windows or Command on Mac OS is pressed) or inactive.

contents allows you to know the type of information displayed. Information can be a value, a percentage or both.

format is the display format of the Z-axis tip values. If the format is "General," an empty string "" is returned in format. For more information on special characters used in display formats, refer to the 4th Dimension Design Reference manual.

formatX is similar to format except that it applies to the X-axis (XY graphs only).

method is the name of the method that will be executed each time a tip is displayed.
