I can add text to a doclink but is there a way to create a text-only hotspot? I can’t seem to find anything and I’ve never tried before. Any info would be great.
TIA
Subject: Is there a way to create a text-popup hotspot in LS?
You have some simple ways and some difficult ways. A simple way would be to copy an existing hotspot that you had created previously from some resource document. A slightly harder, but slightly more flexible way, is to copy the existing popup hotspot with a formula instead of a constant value, and have the formula reference a field which you then set. If you want even more flexibility, you can use DXL and build exactly what you want and export the rich text, integrate the new DXL and re-import. Phew!
Oh, and if none of these work or the latter seems too tough, you can use our Midas Rich Text LSX and make a call such as:
Call rtchunk.AppendHotspot(“Popup”, “This is the text to display”, “”, “Text to show”)
