How can i activate different hints for each cell in a grid
<![CDATA[
Question:
How can I activate different hints for each cell in a grid
control?
Answer:
The following example demonstrates tracking the mouse movements in
a StringGrid component. If the mouse moves to a different cell in the
grid, a new hint window is displayed, showing the row and column
numbers of the cell.
Example:
type
TForm1 = class(TForm)
StringGrid1: TStringGrid;
procedure StringGrid1MouseMove(Sender: TObject;
Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
private
{ Private declarations }
Col : integer;
Row : integer;
public
{ Public declarations }
end;
var
Form1: TForm1;
implementation
{$R *.DFM}
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
StringGrid1.Hint := '0 0';
StringGrid1.ShowHint := True;
end;
procedure TForm1.StringGrid1MouseMove(Sender: TObject;
Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
var
r : integer;
c : integer;
begin
StringGrid1.MouseToCell(X, Y, C, R);
if ((Row <> r) or
(Col <> c)) then begin
Row := r;
Col := c;
Application.CancelHint;
StringGrid1.Hint := IntToStr(r) + #32 + IntToStr(c);
end;
end;
