 Providing an Office 2007 type hint for any control


The TMS components that have built-in support for Office 2007 type hints expose the property OfficeHint with which the hint title, notes, picture and help line can be set. If you want to use an Office 2007 for another standard VCL component or other 3rd party component, you can use the event AdvOfficeHint.OnBeforeShowHint. This sample demonstrates how this can be done. Via the event handler, an Office 2007 hint is set for a TAdvSmoothButton:
procedure TForm1.AdvOfficeHint1BeforeShowHint(Sender: TObject;
  AControl: TControl; AHintInfo: TAdvHintInfo; var UseOfficeHint: Boolean);
begin
  if AControl = AdvSmoothButton1 then
  begin
    UseOfficeHint := true;  // set true to tell the TAdvOfficeHint it should display the hint in Office 2007 style
    AHintInfo.Title := 'Button title';
    AHintInfo.Notes.Text := AControl.Hint;
    AHintInfo.Picture.LoadFromFile(''); // optionally add a hint picture here from file, resource or stream
  end;
end;

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  // set the standard Hint to make sure it shows, this is reused as hint notes
  AdvSmoothButton1.Hint := 'Smooth button hint';
end;

What our customers say

Thank you Mr. Fierens for your time and assistance. Just want to say your VCL Pack is fabulous.

- Mark Mihevc

Thank you for this superb tool collection!

- Henning Swiboda

Thanks for the effort to create the VCL grid goodies ! These chunks of outcome-oriented teaching-material are very useful. It's unbelievable how powerful the grid is when one knows how to unveil it's countless options...

- Feichtenschlager Thomas

I don''t know how I could have created and managed so many projects without the AdvStringGrid! And although there is already so much functionality in it I''m using my own derived version with automatic column widths, enhanced export to Excel (including text colors, backround colors, comments, merged cells and more), the possibility to fill in static data at design time and more. This often allows me to build a new tool in hours instead of days! Support is also great! Thanks.

- Raß Jacqueline

Keep up the great work...Every new release of TMS Component Pack is like Xmas. Top quality components! :-)
