)Remarks
Hint Style Controller is a non-visual component designed to manage the appearance and behavior of all hints in an application or on a form. The hint style controller affects the hints defined by the Hint property of controls used in an application.
In Advanced Hint mode, the hint style controller component enables an ellipsis button for the Hint property in the Object Inspector at design time:
A click on this button invokes the Formatted Hint Editor dialog where you can create hints with simple formatting.
The editor supports the following BBCode-inspired tags:
- [B][/B], [I][/I], [U][/U], and [S][/S]
- The bold, italic, underline, and strikeout font attributes.
- [COLOR][/COLOR] and [BACKCOLOR][/BACKCOLOR]
- The font and highlight colors.
- [SIZE][/SIZE], [SUP][/SUP], and [SUB][/SUB]
- The font size, superscript, and subscript attributes.
- [FONT][/FONT]
- The font typeface.
- [NOPARSE][/NOPARSE]
- Allow you to ignore all markup tags within a text range between these tags.
- [URL][/URL]
- A hyperlink.
