RzButtonHints ?

[David Schwartz 426]

RzBalloonHints isn't working for me. It just shows a yellowish rectangle instead of a balloon regardless of the ShowBalloon property setting.

 

Can anybody working with the Raize Components (whatever they're called now) verify if this works for you or not?

 

(I've got D10.4.2 with the latest V7.0.0 components installed. Haven't had trouble with any others, just noticed this one is behaving oddly.)

Are you talking about TRzBallonHints? I never heard of RzButtonHints.

 

If so, they are working here. So may be something special on your side.

 

Note that Delphi provides its own TBalloonHint component for a couple of versions.

Yup, TRzBalloonHints is what I meant. I changed the post, but can't change the title.

 

I didn't notice a TBalloonHint component. I'll check it out.

Nope, that displays the hints exactly the same as if it's not there.

 

I have no style set up or anything that should be affecting these components.

Did you connect the TBallonHint component to the CustomHint property of the form/control?

nope. I read the help page and didn't notice that. The Raize one does it automatically. 

 

I'll give it a try.

TRzBallonHints acts application wide, while TBallonHint can be tied up to the form as well as down to individual components. Placed onto a TDatamodule it can server multiple forms.

that works, but it's not nearly as nice as the Raize one. It's just the same rectangle with a tiny little "thumb" pointing down and to the left.

 

And I have to put one on every form.

Not when you follow my hint with the TDatamodule.

Well, tastes may be different. I prefer the use of an image list and the fact that it is probably better supported in newer Delphi versions than the Raize one.

what's the image list for?

Showing an image inside the hint. For this screenshot I set the buttons Hint property to "My Title|Hello World|0":
