How can i use them from a lua script?

Do i need to toogle hide/see tooltip or can i set them in script?

Code: Select all

[TextDay1]
Meter						=	String
MeterStyle					=	StyleCalendarDay | StyleCalendarNewWeek

[TextDay2]
Meter						=	String
MeterStyle					=	StyleCalendarDay


[StyleCalendarDay]	
StringAlign						=	Center
StringStyle						=	Italic
StringEffect					=	Shadow
FontEffectColor					= 	#Color.Text.Effect#
FontColor						=	#Color.Text#
FontFace						=	#Font.Name#
FontSize						=	#Font.Size.Calendar.Day#
AntiAlias						=	10
DynamicVariables				=	1
x								=	#Calendar.SpacingX#r
y								=	0r
	
[StyleCalendarNewWeek]
x								=	#Calendar.FirstX#
y								=	#Calendar.SpacingY#r

in the example above is it possible to add tooltip via lua script ?

Of course you can add a tooltip using a Lua Script.

SKIN:Bang('!SetOption',MeterName,'ToolTipText',Text)

[EliteLucker]

Ok many THX for this fast answer

Code: Select all

SKIN:Bang('!SetOption "MeterName" "ToolTipText" Text')

works fine for me but now an other question

Substitute in lua for the dynamic set Tooltip?

Code: Select all

SKIN:Bang('!SetOption "MeterName" "Substitute" Substition')

do tis works?

i will do something like this

Code: Select all

SKIN:Bang('!SetOption "'..sMeterPrefix..'Day'..a..'" "ToolTipText" "'..b..'"')
				SKIN:Bang('!SetOption "'..sMeterPrefix..'Day'..a..'" "ToolTipType" 0')
				SKIN:Bang('!SetOption "'..sMeterPrefix..'Day'..a..'" "Substitute" Substitute.Text')

b is an integer and in Substitute.Text get the value of b an string

Meters do not use Substitute strings. However, you can perform substitutions within Lua, and then change the meter Text directly:

Code: Select all

Substitute.Text = string.gsub(Substitute.Text, 'Old Text', 'New Text')
SKIN:Bang('!SetOption "'..sMeterPrefix..'Day'..a..'" "Text" '..Substitute.Text)

(More about string.gsub here.)
