I'm having a problem making my photoshop script button show a Tool Tip.

Heres an example of what i have so far

Anyhelp greatly appreciated. 

Thanks 

 

 // Create the button

var script3Btn = win.add("button", undefined, "🎦");

script3Btn.size = [40, 40];

 

// Adjust dimensions as needed to make it square

// Increase font size script3Btn.graphics.font = ScriptUI.newFont("Arial", "Bold", 22);

script3Btn.helpTip = 'Hello'; // Set tooltip

script3Btn.onClick = function() {

 

// Show the window

win.show();

    I tried to strip this back to basics:

     

    var myWin = new Window("dialog"); 
    myWin.text = "My Window"; 
var cancelButton = myWin.add("button"); 
    cancelButton.helpTip = "This is a help tip!"; 
    cancelButton.text = "Cancel"; 
myWin.show();

    Hi Stephen

    wow that took me so long to figure out

    thanks for your answer.

    It turn out i had new window ("palette") and not dialog

    Heres my revised 'working' script

    // CustomPanel.jsx

    // Create a new window
    var win = new Window("dialog", " ○ ━ ○ PEG-BAR", undefined);
    win.orientation = "row"; // Set panel orientation to horizontal


    // Create the button
    //var script3Btn = win.add("button", undefined, "🎦");
    var script3Btn = win.add("button");
    script3Btn.text = "🎦";
    script3Btn.helpTip = "This is a help tip!";

    script3Btn.size = [40, 40];
    // Adjust dimensions as needed to make it square

    // Increase font size
    script3Btn.graphics.font = ScriptUI.newFont("Arial", "Bold", 22);

    script3Btn.onClick = function() {
    // Your button click logic here

    #target photoshop

     

     

    and yes im making a new animation tool. 🙂 

    Thanks again for your help
