Getting started with TMS FNC Hint

Prerequisites

  • TMS FNC Core installed and the runtime package added to the project.

Add the component

  1. Drop TTMSFNCHint from the TMS FNC UI palette page onto a form.
  2. Set Active to True to replace the default framework hint.

Assign HTML hint text to a control

Button1.Hint := '<b>Save</b><br/>Saves the current document to disk.';
Button1.ShowHint := True;

TTMSFNCHint intercepts the standard ShowHint mechanism and renders the string through the FNC HTML engine automatically.

Customise the hint appearance

Hint1.Fill.Color := clYellow;
Hint1.Stroke.Color := clGray;
Hint1.Font.Size := 11;

Next steps

  • Guides — positioning, delays, custom drawing, and multi-line hints.
  • API reference — full class reference.
