mouse over events in BCB5

[shilpashetty27]

Hi all,

I'm trying to create 'mouse over events' that will pop-up a 'help' menu describing the function of the control that the mouse is pointing to on my form but not sure how i can go about it. Can anyone please give me some direction/ideas?

Thanks in advance for the help!

cheers,
Shilpa

Are you looking for more than the component's Hint? The following is from BCB's help.

void __fastcall TForm1::FormCreate(TObject *Sender)

{
  Edit1->Hint = "Enter your name";
  Edit1->ShowHint = true;

  char string[10];

  char index[3];

  for(int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)

  {
    strcpy(string, "Item");
    itoa(i, index, 10);
    strcat(string, index);
    ListBox1->Items->Add(string);
  }
  ListBox1->Hint = "Select an item";
  ListBox1->ShowHint = true;
  Application->ShowHint = true;
}
