TApplication.HintColor property

Declaration

property HintColor: TColor read FHintColor write SetHintColor;

Description

HintColor is a TColor property with the color for the background in a Hint window.

The default value for the property is defined in the DefHintColor constant and assigned in the constructor for the application instance. Changing the value for the property causes the color in the internal THintWindow instance to be updated with the new property value.

HintColor is used in the ShowHintWindow method to configure the hint information displayed using a CM_HINTSHOW control message. It may be updated in the same method to use the value returned when the message is handled for the application.
