Showing hint without mouse movement.

[Gigamaq Consultants (P) Ltd.]

Hi! Friends,

Can anybody help me with some piece of code to show hint without mouse
movement?

The situation is, I am using a DBGrig and when I am navigating thru the GRID
(using up/down keys) I want
to display the value of a particular field in the hint of the GRID.

Thanks in advance.

Partha.

Try This: the key is ActivateHint

var
h : THintWindow;
r : TRect;
begin
with r do
begin
//
// set the position and size
// of the hint window
//
left := 10;
top := 50;
right := 200;
bottom := 100;
end;
h := THintWindow.Create( Self )
;
with h do
begin
//
// set the background color
//
Color := clRed;

ActivateHint( r, 'hi there!' );

//
// perform your tasks here
// before closing the hint window
//
MessageBox( 0,
'Press any key to close the '
+ 'hint window',
'THintWindow',
MB_OK );

ReleaseHandle;
Free;
end;
end;

What if you want the hint to disappear automatically?

Ralph,

I assume the attatchment was part of an email. However, I am interested
in it
for an application (and to learn). Is there any way to also get a copy
of it?
