There are far better alternatives than using Delphi's Application.Hint Check out balloon tips examples here: http://www.swissdelphicenter.ch/en/showcode.php?id=1587 and here: http://www.delphipages.com/news/detaildocs.cfm?ID=90 Googling tooltips+Delphi might find you even more info, but the above two examples were enough for me to start using them in my programs.
