Different Control tip for each character in a text box ???

[David]

I have an 80 character string, each position of which can be 0 or 1 indicating an ability to perform some action within my system. Each of the 80 positions refers to a specific function and I'd like to show a control tip for each character as the user moves around in the text box. Is this possible? Any other ideas on how to do this?

A number of questions come to mind:
1) why would you design something so user- UNfriendly as that?
2) What is the structure of the underlying table?
3) If there is a "1" in position 56, does that mean the user has the ability
to perform some action, and how do they then perform the action?
4) Have you considered a list of functions that are active, rather than an
80 character string?

More info, please....
