TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Can you provide more info on your app? I am assuming it's Windows-based. But
what does it do? Also, can you give us an inclusive list of "anything the
programmer wants to define"? Without these, I personally can't come up with
any useful terms... I think that perhaps you are looking for a generic term
that doesn't exist (at least that I know of), and perhaps having this info
would help everyone come up with a term that would be appropriate for your
product.

Is there really this much disagreement about what to call this? I've had the
most consensus on calling it ToolTips (about three people), which surprised
me. More feedback, please!
