  • To activate this function, you can set the property ShowHint=true for the form, then all children that support this property (the heirs of TControl ) will be set to ShowHint=true . If you need a hint for a specific element, you only need to set this property.
  • You also need to fill in the Hint field - this is the text that will be displayed when you hover.

About Parent * Properties

If we change the ShowHint property for a particular component, then automatically the ParentShowHint property will become False and will not return automatically. It is necessary to take this into account. This behavior is common to all Parent* properties.
