TextHint could be visibile even when edit is focused (but still empty of course). This is how many edit controls work nowadays, e.g address edit in FireFox -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org

Re: [Lazarus] lazcontrols filters

Would it be a serious incompatibility that can break compilation of project sources? (I never used delphi) Do you think that a new ComboBox implementation (based on TComboBox) with copy-pasted TextHint support can be a good solution? ...or it would be better to forget this. 2015-10-07 20:30

Re: [Lazarus] lazcontrols filters

What do you think about moving TextHint related things from TCustomEdit to TWinControl to make TextHint available for all TWinControl descendants, for example TComboBox. In this case developers may have unified look of controls on a single form. Anyway TextHint for ComboBoxes would be welcome.

[Lazarus] lazcontrols filters

Dear all, I didn't find a way to change the grey text "(filter)" that appears in TListFilterEdit controls and similar. I think it could be useful to have a property storing that text in order to be able to personalize it. It's quite common to put a tip to what can be written in that box,

I'm using Lazarus 1.5 from trunk (r49937). Trunk has TextHint since a while... I hope that the developers will change the classes to allow access of .TextHint in the Object Inspector. 2015-10-05 18:09 keltezéssel, Andrea Mauri írta: > I am using lazarus svn fixes_1_4, no texthint here. > Is
