I got this situation here, I display a long hint on my statusbar's first pannel, by setting StatusBar-&gt;AutoHint property to true.. What I need now is, when there is no hint to display I want to be able to display a string, like &quot;For help, press F1&quot;..<br><br>How do I do that? Is there an event like &quot;OnHintEnd&quot;??<br><br><br>(I'm using C++Builder 4..)<br><br><br>~al
 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm not familar with BCB 4 but with BCB 3, I can set the <i>StatusBar-&gt;ShowHint</i> property to true and then set <i>StatusBar-&gt;Hint</i> to &quot;For help, press F1.&quot; This is done with the <b>Object Inspector</b> by the way.<br> <p>James P.
