Perhaps you could explain the situation a little? For example, why does a hint
need to appear when the mouse is not over the control (which it does
automatically)? Can the hint be just displayed in the status bar?
Nevertheless, I think what you want is the Application.HintMouseMessage sending
it the control you want the hint for and a TWMMouse message containing the
screen co-ordinates of a point inside the control.

Subject: [DUG]: [Q] Showing a hint manually....
G'Day All,
Can someone tell me how to show a hint manually. I could do it the hard way
by creating a THintWindow myself but I figured that I could send it a
Button2.Perform(CM_HINTSHOW, 0, Button1.Handle) but this does not appear to
work. Anyone got some suggestions??
TIA
