- FB 6.3.0.1472
- I would like to explain some of the items on the dialog. What would be nice is to associate some text with each item on the dialog and have that appear as either a hint off the label or the input control
This would make me also very happy
Any thoughts VS?
This is something that is planned application wide for the next version of FB. We are upgrading to Delphi 2009 and the VCL supports the TextHint property which shows the hint as greyed out text in the edit field when the field is empty. I would rather make use of this than do something specific to a single action.
Hi Vincent,
That sounds good. Only issue with that I can see is that the hint is restricted by the size of the control. And also how would that work for controls such as check boxes for instance?
What about adding an event when you right-click an item? This would enable me to display a text file with explanations, or do some other actions. This is more general than adding a hint .
Thanks Daphna
