Are you sure? GetLongHint sounds more like a function that receives a full hint string and then returns the second portion of it. It that function really displays a string, I would expect it to be named ShowLongHint, and to take a few other parameters, such as coordinates for where to show the hint. I think a control always displays its short hint. Its long hint is something you can access from the Application.OnHint event for display elsewhere, such as a status bar. -- Rob _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
