Description

Hint is a TCaption property that contains the text that can appear when the user moves the mouse over the control. Use the Hint property to provide a string of help text either as a Help Hint, or as help text on a particular location such as a status bar. A Help Hint is a box containing help text that appears for a control when the user moves the mouse pointer over the control and pauses momentarily. To show the Hint on a status bar or other location, use the OnHint event handler of the application. The application’s OnHint event occurs when the mouse pointer moves over the control. Specify a hint to be used for both a Help Hint box and by an OnHint handler by specifying two values separated by a | character (the vertical bar “or” symbol). If Hint contains only one value, the entire string is used as a Help Hint and returned by the GetLongHint function. If a control has no Hint value specified, but its parent control does, the control uses the Hint value of the parent control (as long as the control's ShowHint property is true). Please note that if the application's ShowHint property is false, the Help Hint does not appear, but the OnHint event handler is still called. Use the TJvTabBarItem.Hint property to specify hints for items defined in the Tabs collection.
