context help on buttons?

Hi again, still looking for a way to add more infos to skin buttons...
In some programs there is a very handy "?"-button which can be used to get help on other buttons, which are clicked afterwards. If it doesn't exist yet in KM, would there be a way to have this via a macro? No, am NOT talking of making one myself tongue sticking out smiley

I figure there could either be a more "general" KM-function (probably rather huge project), and/or skin related for a couple extra buttons, perhaps with an additional text file in a skin folder... Or something that works when clicking Alt+button... with a ?-button that just pops up the hint "Click Alt+button for button-help"... ;-)

I think this isn't needed, you can put this info in the button tooltip:
Line in bold is the tooltip info.
	Back{
	ID_NAV_BACK
	Go back one page
	mainbarhot.bmp[0]
	mainbarcold.bmp[0]
	mainbardead.bmp[0]
	}

I kow, but I mean a bit longer, like 2-3 lines ;-)
And the tooltips vanish after about 1 sec, btw, is there a setting somewhere for that time?

I think tooltip can be 254 characters in multiple lines and the time can be setting changed a Windows registry entry but I don't remember what is exactlly.
Another posibility is add a Help menu entry in button context menu and with a macro show an info dialog.
