Hints!? How to change hint text when showing

Hi!

I'm using a listbox's hint property to show
a hint-text in my app. My problem is that
while the hint text is being shown, the
hint-text for the listbox changes, but the change
is not updated in the hintbox. Is there a
way to do this?

TIA

Check the OnShowHint or HintMouseMessage
functions, or paw around through the VCL and see
how it hinting works. Sorry I don't remember, but I
know there's a way to do this.
