why do my hints show in the parent statusbar?
why do my hints show in the parent statusbar?
(OP)
I'm trying to use hints in a form I am calling from the parent using showmodal.
But the hints for the daughter form are showing in the parent form statusbar.
I've looked for a setting to fix this but can't work it out.
How do I rectify this?

Action/Hint-put text in
Action/Visible-true
Also tried
Help and Hints/ParentShowHint-false
Help and Hints/ShowHint-true
this is all for comboboxes on my daughter form.

hints dont appear on the status bar unless you put code in to do it.
CODE
procedure MyHint(Sender: TObject);
end;
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
Application.OnHint := MyHint;
ShowHint := True;
Button1.Hint := 'normal yellow hint|Text in Statusbar';
Button2.Hint := 'only yellow hint|';
Button3.Hint := '|text only in statusbar';
Edit1.Hint := 'same text';
end;
procedure TForm1.MyHint(Sender: TObject);
begin
StatusBar1.SimpleText := Application.Hint;
end;

Looking for something similar I have come across the solution.
I noticed the statusbar on mainform had autohint set to true.
Setting form2 statusbar autohint to true also 'stole' the hints from form1 and showed them on form2. Result.
