Luke,
check the THintWindow class


rusty example, but oh what the hey

FwHint: THintWindow;



function do-some_hint
var
  rect: TRect;
begin
  if FwHint = nil then
  begin
    FwHint := THintWindow.Create(Self);
    FwHint.Color := clInfoBk;
  end;
  rect.Left := 0;
  rect.Right := 50;
  rect.Top := 0;
  rect.Bottom := 50;
  FwHint.ActivateHint(rect, 'some message');
end;


procedure DeleteHint;
begin
  if FwHint <> nil then
  begin
    FwHint.ReleaseHandle;
    FreeAndNil(FwHint);
  end;
end


cheers
moises
