Doas anybody know the meaning of "hint"-parameter in module-attributes?

Isnt that what it says in the pop up help when the mouse hovers over the control?

Hint, means "recomending" scope to load the module on the same dsp board. it is an obligatory option, unlike "Board ID", "DSP ID" and "On Same DSP"

For this you just have to name the parameter with a "@" before the name... (if i remember well).

can you elaborate?
im trying to get the tooltips to work right...

I remember the tip from dp 2, now it should be the same but i can't remember testing it in my newer devices.

Try this :
select a knob or button in the module tree.
The name should be something like "button".

Just rename it to "@button to do this and that".

Now, it should show "button to do this and that" on mouseover.

I'm not at home with DP right now, so I can't do a verification, but it was simple as that. nothing more needed than the "@" to have a text on tooltip.

It's possible things have changed too in the new DP.

You'll tell us

Well,
Ill try that, but this only as a tag,

I want the tooltips to show the numeric value of a knob for instance, in %.

Thats what im trying to get...

I think it may have something reguarding Var Atributes - Unit , only I cant seem to change the Unit type.

anyone?
