    Hi

    Attached video shows problem:

    C++ Builder 2007, Alpha V15.11 (not upgraded as waiting for DBCTRLGrid fixes and other issues reported on this board make me nervous to)

    If I use the sAlphaHint component without changing any values I get the error as shown in the video. The hint shows normally if sAlphaHint is disabled.

    If I set the UseSkinData to true, no hints are displayed at all… It doesn’t matter which Skin I use.

    I get the same problems in a Delphi 2007 project…

    The MegaDemo pre-compiled executable shows hints properly. I can’t rebuild it in Rad Studio 2007 so I can’t test it to see if it works ok when built in 2007…

    Hi! You should upgrade a package. This issue has been solved already if I’m not wrong.

    Hello Andy!
    Unfortunately, I can’t repeat this issue.
    Can you show the demo, please?

    Hi

    Demo project + executable attached.

    With the radio buttons set to On no hints appear.

    Click Off (which turns off TsAlphaHints) hints appear over the Radio Button control.

    (My Alpha Controls were build with the linker set to produce C++ builder info, but I don’t think that can cause the problem)

    Thank you. I haven’t such problem after recompiling.
    Try this demo without Tnt units, please. Maybe Tnt units has influence.

    Hi

    Yes – it’s the TnTUnicode that is triggering the issues.

    I had to recompile AC without TnT support to make the problem go away.

    However, I need TnT support, so I guess there are two possibilities:

    1) I use the non-TNT version of AC and replace TsEdits (etc) with TTntEdits for fields that need Unicode support. My project is huge, so this is not trivial
    2) AC’s TnT support gets fixed…

    I prefer option 2 🙂

    I’m researching this situation and I hope to make compatible TntHints with AlphaSkins.
