Topic: Hints

Hi Dmitry,
I use the 'hint' function quite a lot.  But the 'hint' message only stays visible for about 3 seconds. This is often not long enough for a User to read all of the 'hint'.
Is there something i can do in a script to increase the time to display - for example to 5 or 6 seconds.
I'm using MVD 1.51.
Thanks,

Hello,


Please download latest beta version
https://www.dropbox.com/s/s1roiqthyx7hx … 2.zip?dl=0


added two properties


Application.HintHidePause := 2500;

Specifies the time interval to wait before hiding the Help Hint if the mouse has not moved from the control.
The default value is 2500 milliseconds.


Application.HintPause := 500;

Specifies the time interval that passes before the control's Help Hint appears when the user places the mouse pointer on a control.
The default pause time of 500 milliseconds

Dmitry.

Hello Dmitry, Jean,
Just downloaded 1.52 and added the new properties to my script - it works perfectly.
Thanks, as always for your help and quick response.
