ShowHint (C++)
Contents
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
__fastcall TForm1::TForm1(TComponent* Owner)
: TForm(Owner)
{
Edit1->Hint = "Enter your name";
Edit1->ShowHint = true;
char string[10];
char index[3];
for(int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{
strcpy(string, "Item");
itoa(i, index, 10);
strcat(string, index);
ListBox1->Items->Add(string);
}
ListBox1->Hint = "Select an item";
ListBox1->ShowHint = true;
Application->ShowHint = true;
}
- 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.
