Customizing the Info Balloon

You can customize the information displayed in an Info Balloon box through a text string that can be appended to the default object attribute information. The custom SKILL odcReg* functions allow you to display custom information about an object when a mouse cursor points at the object.

You can do this by defining your own SKILL extensions. When you pass the name of your SKILL extension as an argument to the appropriate odcReg* SKILL function, the Info Balloon box on the corresponding object not only displays the object attributes, but also the string specified by you through the SKILL extension. For further details about using these custom SKILL functions, see Using the SKILL Extension.
