ShowHint (Delphi)
Description
This example uses an edit box and a list box on a form. Items are added to the list box and a Help Hint is assigned to both controls. The last statement enables the Help Hints for the entire application.
Code
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var
I: Integer;
begin
Edit1.Hint := 'Enter your name';
Edit1.ShowHint := True;
with ListBox1 do
begin
for I := 1 to 10 do
Items.Add('Item ' + IntToStr(I));
Hint := 'Select an item';
ShowHint := True;
end;
Application.ShowHint := True;
end;
- Note: To see an example that displays the hints of controls in some place other than in a Help Hint box, see the OnHint example.
