Ampersand disappearing

[Bruce]

How do I stop the ampersand (&) symbol from disappearing in UI_TOOLTIP text? It appears fine in a UI_OUTFIELD, but not in UI_TOOLTIP.

The outfield and the tooltip can be different.


But if you are using a variable instead of a quoted string, you will just need to create a second variable (can be hidden from users) that has the &&&, that will change as you change the original variable.
So as the user changes the original variable, the second will automatically change as well and will be used for the tooltip.

Yes, I had considered this. I was hoping to be more efficient with my code. Oh well.

You are still on AC22, Bruce?

In 24 everything seems working.

Well that's interesting. I am scripting this part in 23. Just did a quick test in 24, and you're right! The ampersand works fine for tooltips.

Thanks for that!
