Title: Re: [amibroker] Looking for Ideas to document my Parameters
First: YES: I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE TOOLTIPS ADDED TO THE PARAM WINDOW. GREAT IDEA!
You should make a suggestion on the feed back site. Since Amibroker, when hovering the cursor over the Param window, already pre-selects the individual parameters (you can see this because they change appearance when you move you cursor over the items) the information you need is already available inside AB. It might be a simple task for TJ to make this available through a Status().
As is, except for when you are using a GFX based Params (Buttons) systems, I don't think it is possible. You could however embed PopUpWindow() or ToolTip() in your custom Param functions so that they popup when the param is clicked - however this would be after the fact ;-) Unless you educate your user to only 'confirm' a parameter setting by clicking on it but not changing the parameter. This would require a certain skill.
another way would be to have the Right mouse button popup an information window that is relevant to the current, or last, selected Param. Or pop up a custom menu with relevant information options.
I think it would be very useful to have this function. There are many among us who prefer coding to trading and who write code that is used by others. I myself spend lots of time and write hundreds of emails explaining how things work. Having Param Tooltips would save lots of time all around.
Best regards,
