Group Hint
The purpose of a group hint is to give a user a brief description of the current group. Use the Hint property of a NavBar group to specify the group hint. The hint appears when a user positions the mouse cursor over the group header and the OptionsBehavior.Common.ShowGroupsHint property of the control is set to True.
The following image shows the “Local” group with its displayed hint:
The OnGetGroupHint event allows you to change hint text dynamically. It is fired before a hint is displayed for individual groups.
You can specify the style for the hint box (background colors, font settings, alignment, etc) via the OptionsStyle.DefaultStyles.Hint and OptionsStyle.CustomStyles.Hint properties. These properties affect both group and link hints. There is also an OnCustomDraw.GroupHint event which you can handle to implement custom draw of the group hint box.
Note
To provide centralized control over the appearance and behavior of hints in your application or form, use the TcxHintStyleController component shipped with the ExpressEditors Library.
