TRzDateTimeEdit Hint

[Barry Wood]

Ray,

See attached screenshot of the above when opened to see the clock face.

Just that the Hint windows isn’t large enough to show all the wording. When I add my own message in ‘HowToUseMsg (with ShowHowToUseHint checked (15 or so words), only the first few words are displayed. Or when I use many words with new lines some truncation occurs.

Hi Barry,

What version of Delphi are you using? And what version of Windows? And what version of the components?

I created a test app using Delphi 10.4 running on Windows 10 and I got the following:

Hi Ray,

I’m using 10.4 with the update, Windows 10 (all at latest update level), and all the Raize components downloaded and installed from GetIt when they were available a week or so ago (the components say they are v6.2.3). So can’t be more up to date with anything.

I tried on a different project and only get 3 lines of help on that as well.

I think I found out what is happening. I suspect that your application is using the TRzBalloonHints component. Is that correct? When I dropped a TRzBalloonHints component onto my form, I get a similar display issue that you are seeing. The hint caption gets wrapped too soon regardless of how wide the CaptionWidth is set to. Fixing this will require modification to the TRzBalloonHints (or not using the TRzBalloonHints component). I suspect that this issue has been in the components for quite a long time. It’s just that no one ran into it before.

Ray,

Yes, I have the Balloon Hints component on the form. Looking forward to the next version :-).
