Introduction: The MCHintBox gives you a combination of Windows popup tooltips, "What's this?" context popup help, and ability to show and automatically hide the diagnostic messages. MCHintBox simplifies the user's life: · User has no need to search the screen for the problematic control — the component will set focus to it, graphically point to it and display a message near to it. · User has no need to perform any special actions to discard this message from the screen. When he understand the message then he just continue with his task — and message will disappear. · Programmers may use only a single function call, HintBox, to display the message (see the "Simple Example" below). Here are some key features of "Hint Box": · Invoked by a single function call, HintBox; · Appears on the screen as a modeless window (not modal or dialog) and can be discarded by any user acivity (by clicking mouse buttons or pressing keyboard) except the mouse movements; · Only one MCHintBox window can be visible at the same moment; · Under WindowsXP, it drops shadow from the right and bottom edges of the hint window. · This component has not to be installed into the Delphi Component Palette. It can be simple copied to any appropriate project's directory.
