Last one for tonight, I promise!

I am trying to edit the tool tip for the events on the schedule view. Some of our appointments are only 15 minutes, and a glance at the calendar only reveals the first line. Can I change the tooltip to show a concatenated list of info, and have that ONE tooltip displayed no matter which line of the event the user is hovering over?

Not easily. Since the calendar isn't touching your event records when the schedule is drawn (hence the simple graph, hence the speed) we can't call upon information in the record unless a) it is already shown in the calendar--that is how the current tool tip works or b) we run a script to get the actual event record-- as we do when you click on an event.

So your tool tip options in a stock calendar are pretty limited.

One could conceive of a mod where we wrote a tool tip array at the same time we wrote the calendar: and then you'd have access to anything you wanted. But writing that array would, I fear, be more expensive (processing wise) than anything we're already doing and could slow things to a crawl.

Now on the day view you have more options and the "show other fields" on day view mod mentioned here would give you access to related information via tool tips. But that only works on layouts without columns.

Anyhow, that's the background. Short answer is you can't really go past the current tool tips.

I prefer the speed over the small convenience of a tooltip! Thanks.
