    Hints Time Intervals

    • 2 minutes to read

    The TcxHintStyleController component provides several properties that affect time aspects of displaying hints. This topic covers the relation between these properties.

    There are three time intervals of displaying hints whose duration can be customized:

    • The interval between the moment when the mouse pointer enters the control area and when the hint is invoked. This interval is customized by the HintPause and HintShortPause properties of the TcxHintStyleController component. The interval specified by the HintPause property is used if the mouse pointer enters the control when no hints are displayed. The interval specified by the HintShortPause property is used if the mouse pointer enters the control while a hint is displayed for another control.

    • The interval between the hint animation starts and ends. This interval is controlled by the HintStyle.AnimationDelay property of the component. Note that if the HintStyle.Animate property is set to cxhaNone, no animation takes place. The hint is displayed immediately after the previous time interval elapses, in this case.

    • The interval during which the hint is displayed. It is specified by the HintHidePause property. Note that if the mouse pointer leaves the control area the hint is hidden regardless of this property value.

    The image below illustrates the relation between the properties mentioned.
