BarItem.Hint Property

Gets or sets the data representing the description of the bar item’s hint. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Bars

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Core.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Core

#Declaration

public object Hint { get; set; }

#Property Value

Type Description
Object

The data representing the description of the bar item’s hint.

#Remarks

Bar items support regular hints and SuperTips. A SuperTip, if specified, has a higher priority than a regular hint.

A regular hint displays a BarItem’s caption (BarItem.Content), glyph (BarItem.Glyph), and the Hint object. If the Hint property is not specified, a regular hint is not displayed.

A SuperTip is an expandable tooltip that supports multiple regions. Tooltip regions are arranged one under another, and each can display a specific object and graphics. To specify a SuperTip for an item, use the BarItem.SuperTip property.

The BarManager.ShowScreenTips and BarItem.ShowScreenTip properties allow you to disable hints/SuperTips.

The following code snippets (auto-collected from DevExpress Examples) contain references to the Hint property.
