These TActions has assigned hint property. When some ToolButton is assigned to specific taction it shows hint window, but similar situation with menuitem doesnt show any hint. Is there any way to show hint windows to menu items? or at least to show hints in the statusbar.

Not built-in no. Hints on menus would seem really wierd since no other application actually does that (at least that I am familiar with). Quote: or at least to show hints in the statusbar. Drop a statusbar and set it's AutoHint property to true. -- -Steve C# Builder/Delphi R&D Borland Software Corporation My website: http://www.geocities.com/delphihelp Save time search first: http://groups.google.com ActionBand FAQ: http://www.geocities.com/delphihelp/info/ABFAQ.htm How to Ask Questions the Smart Way: http://tinyurl.com/7r35 Back to top AKZ Guest Posted: Thu Oct 23, 2003 7:50 pm    Post subject: Re: how to add hints to menu items?

Quote: Drop a statusbar and set it's AutoHint property to true. -- i did this, but nothing happens. Do you have a long hint set for the menu items? FTR, a long hint is what appears after the vertical bar which should be after the short hint: <short hint>|<long hint> Cheers, Ignacio -- The strange part isn't so much that he had an accent. No accent was detectable. It was just sounds and burbs and gurgles coming from him. He was a like a chubby, old R2-D2. - La Üter Back to top        BorlandTalk.com Forum Index -> Delphi VCL Components Using All times are GMT Page 1 of 1 Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group .
