Paul,
Here is the briefest demonstrator I can create:
Code: | WINAPP
OPTIONS (INTL, DREAL)
PROGRAM HELL_P
C --------------
INCLUDE <WINDOWS.INS>
A = 1.0
IW = WINIO@ ('%ca[Illustration of help]&')
IW = WINIO@ ('%bh&', 1)
IW = WINIO@ (' Parameter A %?rf[initially_blank]'//
& '[Put a value for A here]&', A)
IW = WINIO@ ('%2nl%rj%8bt[Accept]')
END |
The pop-up help has a black rectangle background instead of being transparent, and so looks awful.
As it happens, a workaround (improvement?) is to use %th with the balloon option instead of %bh.
Only Win32 tested.
Eddie
PS: When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed popup help in any way .... etc

Perhaps you are using an old version of ClearWin+. %bh now defaults to the Microsoft "bubble" rather than the native one which had become broken with advancing versions of Windows.

Hi Paul,
Not that ancient: 8.50 (well, not as ancient as me).
Need I say more than it would be good to have the CWPLUS.ENH files - I did look at the revision history online and didn't see a mention there.
