I was asked how to control the "hints" or "tool tips" that appear on some Captivate and RoboDemo playback controls.
Assuming you have Captivate installed on your computer, go to the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Captivate\Gallery\PlaybackControls
You’ll notice that some toolbar images have the names like Captivate-exitbuttonup.bmp. For those toolbar buttons that sport "Tool Tips" or "Hints" there is a companion image such as Captivate-exitbuttonhint.bmp.
If you want to get rid of the "hint," rename the "hint" image (such as the Captivate-exitbuttonhint.bmp image mentioned above).
If you want to create your own "Hint" for any of the existing Playback Control sets, create an image for those buttons that don’t have hint images and name them using the names of the button you are giving the hint for (a button called KevinOver.bmp should get a "hint" image called KevinOverhint.bmp.)
