{ How to display hints in the status bar
  By U. Conrad <[e-mail]> }


type
  TForm1 = class(TForm)
    ...
    ...
    procedure InitForm(Sender: TObject);  { Triggered on onCreate }
    procedure ShowHint(Sender: TObject);  { Add this by yourself }
  end;

procedure TMDIForm.InitForm(Sender: TObject);
begin
  Application.OnHint:=ShowHint;
  { Simply add this line in the init procedure. The onHint event will alway
    be fired, even if you have turned "ShowHint" off.
    This causes the call of your own ShowHint method }
end;

procedure TMDIForm.ShowHint(Sender: TObject);
begin
  { The ShowHint method is called if an onHint event occurs.
    You can take the applications current hint here and display it }
  Statusbar.SimpleText:=Application.Hint { if you have a simple panel bar }
  {or }
  StatusBar.Panels[0].Text := Application.Hint;
  { if you have a multi panel bar }
end;
