I have tried in vain to make hints show up in the GUI of my application.
I have set the hint strings for TButton, TBitBtn and TSpeedButton items via Object Inspector in the Lazarus IDE but nothing displays when I hover the mouse ove these items when running the program.

What am I missing?

Do I need to set some project property to make them appear? In Delphi simply entering the strings used to cause them to appear in runtime when the mouse hovers over the controls....

Thanks,
I found it as a property of the form on which the buttons are placed. So not a project option.
Now working!
