RE: [wxperl-users] Problems with EVT_TOOL_ENTER

[Bradley M. H. <bh...@ja...>]

I had tried this, but wasn't sure if that was the way to go.

The only reason I was going to use this functionality is due to the fact
that the "Long Help" message for a tool on the toolbar doesn't get removed
from the status bar like it should.  I was going to blank it out myself.
