public procedure TApplication.ActivateHint( |
CursorPos: TPoint; |
CheckHintControlChange: Boolean = False |
); |
CursorPos |
|
Mouse cursor position used to retrieve the hint control information. |
CheckHintControlChange |
|
Indicates if hint controls are used to compared existing and new hint windows. |
ActivateHint is a procedure used to configure and control a hint window displayed at the coordinates specified in CursorPos. ActivateHint retrieves the control with hint information at the specified mouse position.
CheckHintControlChange indicates whether the active Hint control is compared to the control under the mouse position to determine if the active hint control has changed. When set to False, only the mouse leaving the hint rectangle causes the window to be updated. When set to True, a change of control at the mouse position also causes the hint window to be updated.
If the hint control at the specified coordinates differs from the one in the active hint, an existing hint is deactivated. The new hint window sets its hint timer and calculates the rectangle for the hint window.
If hint text is not available for the specified control and mouse position, the CancelHint method is called instead.
Use the following properties to control the interval for the timer which displays or hides a hint window in the application:
