[SOLVED] Control.hint does not process pipe character ( | )

(1/1)

Dear all

I have problem with <control>.hint as it will ignore any remaining text after a pipe | character.

Here an example code


--- Code: Pascal  [+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 = document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x = document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i < x.length; i++) { x[i].style.maxHeight='none'; x[i].style.height = Math.min(x[i].clientHeight+15,306)+'px'; x[i].style.resize = "vertical";}};} ---procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);var  myHint: string;begin  myHint:='Hello world | I am dadycool';  Form1.ShowHint:=true;  Button1.Hint:=myHint; //will show 'Hello world'  Image1.Hint:=myHint; //will show 'Hello world'  Shape1.Hint:=myHint; //will show 'Hello world'end; 
my setup detail...

Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks so much!

This is by design.
The text after the pipe symbol is used for the "long hint".
IIRC you can use OnHint to display that part in e.g. a statusbar (but I may be wrong).
