Description

TScreenTipsManager provides a mechanism to manage and display all screen tips contained in a ribbon application.

Use a TScreenTipsManager component to specify information about user-defined screen tips, which are a special type of hint windows designed for ribbons.

With TScreenTipsManager you can add standard screen tips to your actions (like Paste, Copy, Cut, and others) listed in LinkedActionLists, modify them, or/and add new screen tips for your custom action. LinkedActionLists can contain the Actions from TActionManager or TActionList, added to your application.

To launch a screen tips designer, double-click the TScreenTipsManager component in the design mode. Here you can customize screen tip properties like BorderStyle, FooterImage, Footer, or the color. Also from this Edit Screen Tips window, you can generate screen tips from the action's Hint, ShortCut, and Caption properties.

You can also create screen tips for non-ribbon components by placing a Screen Tips Popup component on the form and setting its ScreenTipManager, ScreenTip, and Associate properties.
