About this task
The text in the hover information window displays using
the format and style defined by the Syntax Coloring preference. If
there are remote errors, or problems, real-time syntax warnings annotations
are displayed and the first problem is displayed when the hover information
window opens. Hovering over an annotation warning, overlays the existing
hover information window with another one containing the annotation
warning information. COPY and INCLUDE statements within the hover
information window are a hyperlink. Clicking the hyperlink causes
a hover information window for that element to overlay the existing
hover information window.
To use hover help, hover the cursor
over element and the hover information window opens. Pressing F2 over
the focused text also opens the hover information window. The toolbar
provides navigation within the window.
