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.
I’m guessing your auto-complete ‘To’ box resolved to my email rather than the one you were intending, cheers
I missed the “do TLabel hints” bit (I originally thought, yes, they do work on buttons etc).
But, actually, on trying it out they don’t seem to work for labels. I sort of understand why they might not but it’s anomalous because they work for VCL - and, if they don’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 … . 
The help says about HitTest, “Enables the control to capture mouse events.”
It makes perfect sense if you know this feature is there / expect it to be there.
