Add help messages in plugins

[marionlouveaux]

Hi!

Could you add help messages in the Clicy plugins to be displayed when the user mouse over the question mark on blue background?

Many thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Marion

Hi Robert,

I am gathering information to improve the EzPlug documentation and I got some regarding how to add help messages for plugin parameters. My colleagues told me that

1. you need to declare the message in the method of EzPlug: public void initialize()
2. for each variable, you can add an help message with myEzVar.setToolTipText("my help message");

I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Marion

Ah, I see! I don't have help-messaes per parameter, but for the plugin, I guess showing it in this tool tip might indeed be helpful! :-)
