Title: Change the font in the hint windows
Question: Use the OnShowHint event from TApplication to change the hints
Answer:
Changing the font of the hint windows of the application is done by the event 'Application.OnShowHint':
type
TForm1 = class(TForm)
procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
private
public
procedure MyShowHint(var HintStr: string;
var CanShow: Boolean;
var HintInfo: THintInfo);
end;
var
Form1: TForm1;
implementation
{$R *.DFM}
procedure TForm1.MyShowHint(var HintStr: string;
var CanShow: Boolean;
var HintInfo: THintInfo);
var i : integer;
begin
for i := 0 to Application.ComponentCount - 1 do
if Application.Components[i] is THintWindow then
with THintWindow(Application.Components[i]).Canvas do
begin
Font.Name := 'Arial';
Font.Size := 18;
Font.Style := [fsBold];
HintInfo.HintColor := clWhite;
end;
end;
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
Application.OnShowHint := MyShowHint;
end;
