Hi,

as I told in another topic (http://forum.hyperion-entertainment.biz ... =26&t=2783), I've installed helphints to my application with WINDOW_GadgetHelp,TRUE and using GA_HintInfo in the window gadgets. Unlike other gadgets, the getfont.gadget doesn't output the hint even if the autodoc confirms that the GA_HintInfo tag is available. My code snippet:

Code: Select all

LAYOUT_AddChild,pinfo->gads[PGAD_STAFFNAMEFONT] = IIntuition->NewObject(GetFontClass,NULL,
	GA_ID,PGAD_STAFFNAMEFONT,
	GA_HintInfo,NGetstring(MSG_PIECEGAD_STAFFNAMEFONT_HINT),
	GA_RelVerify,TRUE,
	GA_TabCycle,TRUE,
	GETFONT_DoCharSet,TRUE,
	GETFONT_DoStyle,TRUE,
TAG_DONE),
CHILD_WeightedHeight,0,
SGLabel(NGetstring(MSG_PIECEGAD_STAFFNAMEFONT)),

I can see that also CodeBench Preferences-Edit window won't show hints for getfont/getscreenmode.gadget, but AOS 4.1 Font Preferences shows them. What am I doing wrong here?

Yes, that looks like it could be my fault. After checking the sources after your report, it appears I never implamemnted the OM_SET on the GA_HintInfo tag, so trying to set the string will be always ignored.

My bad!

It's fixed now for version 53.10+. Hopefully, it will be available in a public update soon.

Great, waiting for that! I still wonder what the Font preferences editor does, it shows the hints. As does Screens preferences editor.

I'm guessing they are button gadgets using the getfont glyph, instead of using the getfont gadget directly. Obviously, the button.ghadget accepts GA_Hintinfo correctly.
