published property TMenuItem.Hint : TTranslateString |
Hint is a TTranslateString property with the text displayed as a hint for the menu item. Its value may be overwritten with the Caption from an Action assigned to the menu item. As a TTranslateString property, the value can be localized using the i18n facilities in the Lazarus IDE when enabled for a project.
The hint text is displayed on the TStatusBar for a form when its AutoHint property is enabled. For a top-level menu item, the hint text does not appear until a menu item is selected / activated on the TMainMenu instance. Once an item has been selected on the menu, hint text is displayed whenever the mouse is hovered a menu item or when a new menu item is selected.
Hint is also assigned to the Hint property in Application (TApplication) for use in its OnShowHint event handler.
