Add a Tooltip builder.

[bigs]

Hi, From my own experience, and by talking to other users I´ve found out that it is common for users to still use Autodesk Studio 2008. The reason for this is because Studio (2008 version) includes a builder to create tooltips. This was removed in Studio 2009 and newer versions and doesn't exist in Maestro. It can be found in Studio 2008 under Layer Styles / Label Style and "Edit the Style" its possible to add a column value in the Font / property field.

I think this could be a huge improvement for the user usability, because not everyone has the understanding to create a complex tooltip by writing their own concat statements.

I've added a screenshot of the builder from Studio 2008.

I've add this to the Maestro-4.0-maintenance, but I'm not sure if that's realistic as it would probably take some time to make, but it would definitely help users make the right choice :) when facing the question of choosing Autodesk mapguide or Mapguide opensource.

That tooltip builder existed in that form because the FDO Expression Engine did not exist at the time, so you didn't have all these FDO functions to construct powerful expressions with.

I won't be wasting much developer cycles to replicate an old way of doing things.
