I've been wondering if this is at all possible? The ability to "display" a dialog on a hover over of a dialog item (like a button). I know people will say "just you use tool-tips", however I find tool-tips kinda limiting, and I want to have a better visual appeal.
possibly maybe? I'm actually not sure if it is achievable.
what exactly is it your wanting to display on the hover over?
Because as you said there is all ready tool tips, which you can put images into (which a lot of people didn't know) and they will be a lot cleaner than getting a hover over system working
Basically I have a bunch of info that I want displayed a certain way, which tool-tip won't really accommodate. For instance I have unit portraits, and statistics and stuff. The information has to be displayed kinda independent of the button location (tool-tips appear beside the dialog item, however I heard you can move them around, but still it's not what I want).
I haven't heard of anyone using dialogs like this, it might simply not be possible, but I was curious.
If your planning on using this as a dialog button, and the information in such tool tip is going to be for that specific button.
why not just create a new dialog and and a confirm button that one dialog.
so you click on the button to get the mouse over information, which brings up the new dialog, but to actually select it there is another button on the information dialog.
Again limited information, and I'm not sure exactly what it is you are after :)
