Hi All!
This is just a minor annoyance fpr me (it grates on my sense of
esthetics :-)), but is there any way to center the text in a
multi-line hint? In the current app, the hint is for a TPaintBox, but
I've occasionally wanted to do this for other controls in the past.
I could almost do this by pre-processing the hint text, but it would
not take into account even/odd character counts (better than nothing,
but not optimal).
Paint the hint yourself with DrawText:

- no need to preprocess the text.
Lazarus has implemented DrawText for all widgetsets. You can also use
TCanvas.TextRect with the Style parameter.
