[SOLVED]Define background color for hint

[bobonwhidbey]

It's nice the way I can tailor the hint specifically for each cell when I mouse over a cell in a grid. How can I define the background color of the hint?  Mine are all a light blue and I'd like a lighter background?

Also, how to change the time between when the mouse is over a cell and when the hint appears? I'd like to shorten that time-gap.

The  OnShowHint  event is probably what you need - it gives you a pointer to the hint's info record containing properties like  HintColor  and  ReshowTimeout.
