About pop-up windows
Pop-up windows are based on an HH_POPUP structure and include the following default properties:
- The pop-up window is positioned relative to the mouse. The calling program can override this with a specific position.
- The width and height of the pop-up window are determined by the amount of text. The help author or the program can specify an exact width or height.
- If there is insufficient screen real estate to display the text, the text is clipped. A pop-up window never includes a scroll bar.
- The pop-up window is dismissed when the user clicks inside or outside the window, presses
Esc
, or when the pop-up window loses focus.
