Hi!
I'm using lazarus to develop a set of component and I need to change the hint of some controls at design time to show some informations about the control.
Can I do it?

Do you mean the hint with the caption and the position?
This hint is fixed. What do you want to add?

My idea is show others properties, not only position, size and taborder, properties
that are present in default LCL.
On my project, I link windows controls (edits, labels and others) with variables
stored in others devices (like sensors). So I want add in hint the device variable is linked with the control. The developer will only move the mouse over
the control to see the linked variable and not select it to see in object inspector
what's the variable.

Fabio

This is not possible yet. But probably implementation will not take much time. You can unit to see how we show hints now.

Either TComponentEditor can be extended or a global event can be added.

I think in extend TComponentEditor, but I don't know how this class works in the designer

Please use a bug tracker and mark the report as a feature request. Please also note that your implementation can be rejected even if you did it and it works right.
