Topic: How to show hints on images

I know that you can show hints for buttons, but I would like to show hints for an image. Is this possible?
 

thanks

Re: How to show hints on images

Hello Jumper

This script :

Form1.Image1.Cursor   := crHandPoint; Form1.Image1.ShowHint  := True; Form1.Image1.Hint   := 'New usert';

This behind OnShow Event of Form1 (or between BEGIN...END.

But it is even easier with the Additional properties latest version of MVD 2.23 beta (though I've often found with bugs with Hint and ShowHint properties (nothing is displayed).

Re: How to show hints on images

Thanks JB. I'll try your script out in just a bit...


You mentioned that it is easier with version 2.23 beta? I'm using 2.3 beta. The additional properties are there (show hints, hint text), but they are not working. I have text in the "hint" area and "show hints" is set to True.


Am I missing something?
thanks

Re: How to show hints on images

Hi Dimitry, I'll send the code to you in just a minute. And thanks for checking it out for me.

 
mathmathou, I'm glad you like the icons. I worked on it some last night and most of the day today. It was tough trying to get the icon background colors to complement each other (maybe I'm color blind).
   

Thanks guys...

Hello jumper

What was the matter with Show Hint and Hint ?
What was Dmitry's answer ?
