I am about as green as you can get at this, but here's my problem:

I made a command button for a unit, to do what ever, but one of the parameters is:

DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:TooltipBlahblahblah

Then when in game the button works fine, but it says missing in the tooltip window. Where are the text descriptions for this parameter or what have I done wrong?

Are you sure you have a proper CONTROLBAR:TooltipBlahblahblah entry created in a STR of CSF file and those files are accessible for the game?

If you haven't open a CSF editor and create this entry. I prefer using XCC Mixer, which is utility formerly used for Red Alert 2 but is now capable of doing a lot for Generals, including CSF editing.

Creating a STR file is easier. Just open a notepad and type something like it.

CONTROLBAR:TooltipBlahblahblah
"Blah Blah Blah"
END

Then save it with any name in Data\English folder.

you need to make an entry in the Generals.csf file.
its located in the Data\English folder.
you need to create an entry with the title name same as what listed in your CommandButton code I.E.
DescriptLabel = CONTROLBAR:TooltipBlahhblah

There is a tool for opening and editing this file called the CSF Editor
you can download it at my website here,(suprised Dee doesn't have it)CSF editor
