Delphi TRibbon ToolTip for buttons

I am trying to add a ToolTip (or hint as Delphi refers to it) to the buttons on the ribbon. I am using the TRibbon that comes with Delphi XE7. I am developing in the VCL framework.

I did find a Hint property in the Action that is linked to the button on the Ribbon, but I cannot get the Hint to display.

So it seems that the correct answer is to set ShowHint = True on the form.

Solution

  • First, I'd check if the form (and possibly the ribbon) have ShowHint = True.
