Ballon Tips in C++ (Borland C++ Builder 6)
I am using Borland C++ Builder 6. I would like to do away with ucky message boxes and repleace them with balloon tips when applicable.
Does anyone know how to make balloon tips in Borland C++ Builder 6? I have looked around and have been able to find anything that would work (at least as far as I could understand).
Thanks!
Isn't there a Help menu?
If there had been something helpful in the help file, I wouldn't have come here.
This is probably more appropriate to a windows programming forum (using C++ Builder) than to a C++ forum.
You need to search more actively; in particular look at common properties of visual components.
All visual components in the VCL have a Hint property. If the mouse is moved over the component, and a couple of other conditions are met (look up the ShowHint and ParentShowHint properties) a balloon will be shown with the hint text.
Thanks!!!
I'll be looking into those, I have other stuff to work on now, but it's a start when I can get to it.
