Hello,


Application.HintHidePause := 15000;

Specifies the time interval to wait before hiding the Help Hint if the mouse has not moved from the control or menu item.



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 or menu item.

Re: How to extend time for hint text

Actually, I did not understand how to implement it. I copied the code from here and I see no difference whichever method I choose...

Thanks for the example Dmitry, I had to stare at it several times to figure out that I was not talking about the same kind of Hint. I was talking about the hint into textboxes or comboboxes.

Re: How to extend time for hint text

But for hint into textboxes or comboboxes there is no way to set the pause time

Form1.Edit1.TextHint := 'Enter the last name';
