Hi, I noted there are new (to me) properties in some components, what's the difference between those and the good old Hint property?.

TextHint fills the TCustomEdit with the value assigned to it, whenever the control's Text property is empty and the control does not have focus.
Hint only (and alwaysif showhint = true) displays a bloontip when the mouse is over the control.

Just play with it:

Edit1.TextHint := 'Type your name here';

Thanks Bart, it's the same as Bootstrap's <INPUT> placeholder property.
