Hello, i know this unit is for cosmetic, but can anyone give me a tip on how to get it work on Lazarus? It works fine on Delphi.

maybe the win32 interface should create the hint window by default like this. AFAICS most windows apps have it.

Thanks in advance.

This unit will enable drop shadows on Hints when your program is running on

  Windows XP.

  To use: simply add "HintShadow" to your main form's "uses" clause.

}

interface

uses

  Windows, SysUtils, Controls, Forms, LCLType;

type

  TShadowedHintWindow = class(THintWindow)

  protected

    procedure CreateParams(var Params: TCreateParams); override;

  end;

implementation

{ TShadowedHintWindow }

procedure TShadowedHintWindow.CreateParams(var Params: TCreateParams);

const

  CS_DROPSHADOW = $00020000;

begin

  inherited;

  { Enable drop shadow effect on Windows XP and later }

  if (Win32Platform = VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT) and

     ((Win32MajorVersion > 5) or

      ((Win32MajorVersion = 5) and (Win32MinorVersion >= 1))) then

    Params.WindowClass.Style := Params.WindowClass.Style or CS_DROPSHADOW;

end;

initialization

  HintWindowClass := TShadowedHintWindow;

end.
