FMX TLabel Hints

Hi All,

Do Fire Monkey TLabel Hints actually work / have they ever worked?

Regards
Stephen Brennan

PS: Note: I posted this question to adug-members@adug.org.au - Can somebody please let me know if they got it and what happens when e-mails are sent to that address?

It still goes to the list. The traffic on the list is virtually non-existent these days.

Iā€™m guessing your auto-complete ā€˜Toā€™ box resolved to my email rather than the one you were intending, cheers

I missed the ā€œdo TLabel hintsā€ bit (I originally thought, yes, they do work on buttons etc).

But, actually, on trying it out they donā€™t seem to work for labels. I sort of understand why they might not but itā€™s anomalous because they work for VCL - and, if they donā€™t work why have the hint and showhint properties?

Hi,
If you enable HitTest (and showHint), it appears to work on mine (Windows, D10.1)

Thank you Roger that is exactly what I needed. It does not seem obvious / intuitive but I guess that gives some insights into what hit test is there for ā€¦ . :wink:

The help says about HitTest, ā€œEnables the control to capture mouse events.ā€
It makes perfect sense if you know this feature is there / expect it to be there.
