Declaration
property OnHint: TNotifyEvent;  

Description
The OnHint event occurs when the mouse pointer moves over a control or menu item that can display a Help Hint.  
 
Write an OnHint event handler to perform special processing when the mouse pauses over a control or menu item whose Hint property is not an empty string ('').  
 
A common use of the OnHint event is to display the value of a control or menu item's Hint property as the text of a status bar (TStatusBar). The Hint property of a control can specify both a short Help Hint and a (usually) longer hint that appears elsewhere because of code in an OnHint event handler.
