Description:
I wanted to ask about using Hint property on MainMenu items in Lazarus. Found a couple of forum posts but without an answer. I'm building an application with a menu (no popop menu just main menu) and want to show hints for different menu items. However the hints does not show neither on design time nor at run time. I've changed the property ShowHint to true in the parent control (Form1) and hints does not show also. What is the problem here?
[Edit: This part is not a Lazarus bug but a Windows configuration issue. Ignore]
(Another question is about using "&" symbol in menuitems caption. I've read the the "&" symbol should put an underline to a character in order to access tje menuitem quicker. At design time this behaviour is correct however at runtime the underline character goes away? Any suggestions here? )
P.S. Earlier i've used Delphi and Hints did show there when ShowHint property was set to true on Form1.
