Help Tip Messages in D3

[NordicSystems]

I am looking for the way to display "windows-look-and-feel" help tip messages in Delphi 3 from a dialog box with the question mark button in the caption. Any help will be appreciated.

You can override THint to make a customised window.
I havnt tried this myself. and I dont know if you can add buttons.

Do you use a Windows Helpfile?. Windows Help supports different kinds of Window as you know.
Perhaps you should be providing context sensitive Tips using WinHelp or HTML Help ?.

When you click on the dialog box with the Qmark cursor the OnClick method should call 'Application.helpcontext(N);'
where N is the [MAP] section set up in the Windows help system.

Hope this helps
Steve.
