Tooltip Scaling in RAD Studio 10.3 and Earlier IDEs

Tooltips do not scale properly according to the current monitor DPI in projects built with Embarcadero RAD Studio® 10.3 and earlier IDEs due to a tooltip implementation bug in the VCL library.

To work around this bug, you need to place the TcxHintStyleController component on a form.

Default Value

The Hint property’s default value is an empty string.
