Description
The ParentShowhint property specifies whether the component uses the ShowHint of its parent component. If ParentShowHint is False, the component uses its own ShowHint property value.
To ensure that all components on the form display uniformly or do not display hints, set ParentFont for all components to True or False respectively.
Property Value
True, if the component uses the parent’s ShowHint property value; False otherwise.
Remarks
The component’s hint is displayed in the following cases:
- The component’s
ShowHintproperty is True. - The component’s
ParentShowHintis True and the hint for the parent component is also enabled.
When you change the ParentShowHint value, ShowHint is automatically set to False, and vice versa.
