![]() Answer: Tip text is stored here: DOORSHOME\lib\dxl\wizard\tip\tips on each person's client. I see that each Tip occupies its own line (with an EOL), and that its formatted into Paragraphs via ##. I see this unencrypted DXL that manages the TIP dialog ..err.. provides the functions to manage the tip box: DOORSHOME\lib\dxl\wizard\tip\tipwiz.dxl. I see that this command will display the tip box: tipDoTips(), and that comes from file tipshow.dxl that is surely invoked from the menu. I see that this constant houses the location of the above TIP file: S_TIPS_FILE. It should be fairly simple to write a DXL that grabs a new file from a config file on the server and deploys it over this tip file; so long as the user has modify rights to the DOORS install directory. It would also be fairly easy to do write a DXL that manages your own 'MyCompany-DOORSTips.txt' and displays it on demand, without changing to built in tips. That DXL would download the latest tip config file to the local client, #include the tipwiz.dxl file above, modify parameter S_TIPS_FILE to point to the downloaded tips, then call function tipDoTips(). - Louie | |

is there any way to modify the tip of the day and add your own tip? Do you need DXL to do this?
