Multi-line Tooltip for my icons

Hi,

 

I have some my own Icons on my Toolbar in Autocad that prepared by myself,

I can define tooltip for those icons by "Description" property of icons in CUI.

but the limitation is: I will have just single-line and simple tooltips!

so, how can I define multi-line tooltips for my own icons? or even graphical tooltip?!

should I use "Zammel" language? 

I don't know anything about this language!

 

Thanks,

Put in a new line character ("\n") where you want a break?

 

(if ("mysolution"=answer) then (click "Accept As Solution"))

Thanks, But I tried that! It does not work for "Description" property of icons!

I think there is no way except Zammel!

Minor drawback to using XAML to add extended help information is that while you can change it, you can't *remove* it (reset it back to null).

Not much - the inability to null out anything I add makes it pretty useless to me.  Try searching on XAML (not "Zammel") and AutoCAD.  There's a couple of online help documents which show the basics if you want to play with it.  There's also extensive documentation on writing XAML on the internet, although not all of it will work in the AutoCAD UI elements.
