Hello
Problem with TitleButtons hints will be solved in the v6.45

[Iruau]

Hi,

I just installed v6.45 stable, and unfortunately the problem is still here after a full rebuild of my project.

Granted it's better than with v6.44 (I can see more of the hint text) but it's still not solved.
I guess correct behaviour would be to align the right side of the hint window with the right edge of the screen.

That's what was made in the version 6.45… Could you give me a little demo with problem? Thanks.

Here you go…

DFM :
Please note that I removed any internal skin before copy/pasting the code (for size reasons). Don't forget to add a skin and set the skin manager to Active=true before testing the project. The problem appears whether the window is maximized or it is too near the right edge of the screen, regardless of the chosen skin.

CODE

object wndMain: TwndMain
  Left = 419
  Top = 231
  Width = 403
  Height = 257
  Color = clBtnFace
  Font.Charset = DEFAULT_CHARSET
  Font.Color = clWindowText
  Font.Height = -11
  Font.Name = 'MS Sans Serif'
  Font.Style = []
  OldCreateOrder = False
  PixelsPerInch = 96
  TextHeight = 13
  object skinProvider: TsSkinProvider
    SkinData.SkinManager = skinManager
    SkinData.SkinSection = 'FORM'
    TitleButtons = <
      item
        Hint = 'Some very long hint that overlaps the screen edge'
        Name = 'TsTitleButton'
      end>
    Left = 112
    Top = 56
  end
  object skinManager: TsSkinManager
    Active = False
    InternalSkins = <>
    MenuSupport.IcoLineSkin = 'ICOLINE'
    MenuSupport.ExtraLineFont.Charset = DEFAULT_CHARSET
    MenuSupport.ExtraLineFont.Color = clWindowText
    MenuSupport.ExtraLineFont.Height = -11
    MenuSupport.ExtraLineFont.Name = 'MS Sans Serif'
    MenuSupport.ExtraLineFont.Style = []
    SkinInfo = 'N/A'
    ThirdParty.ThirdEdits = ' '
    ThirdParty.ThirdButtons = 'TButton'
    ThirdParty.ThirdBitBtns = ' '
    ThirdParty.ThirdCheckBoxes = ' '
    ThirdParty.ThirdGroupBoxes = ' '
    ThirdParty.ThirdListViews = ' '
    ThirdParty.ThirdPanels = ' '
    ThirdParty.ThirdGrids = ' '
    ThirdParty.ThirdTreeViews = ' '
    ThirdParty.ThirdComboBoxes = ' '
    ThirdParty.ThirdWWEdits = ' '
    ThirdParty.ThirdVirtualTrees = ' '
    ThirdParty.ThirdGridEh = ' '
    ThirdParty.ThirdPageControl = ' '
    ThirdParty.ThirdTabControl = ' '
    ThirdParty.ThirdToolBar = ' '
    ThirdParty.ThirdStatusBar = ' '
    ThirdParty.ThirdSpeedButton = ' '
    Left = 144
    Top = 56
  end
end

Additional info : I'm using Borland C++Builder 6 / ASkin 6.45 / TntUnicode 1.7.0.3 under Windows XP SP3.
The TwndMain form is an instance of TTntForm.

Thank you, problem will be solved in the nearest release.

PS. You can search in the sSkinProvider.pas file this code

CODE

R := Btn.HintWnd.CalcHintRect(200, Btn.Hint, 0);

If you change this line to

CODE

R := Btn.HintWnd.CalcHintRect(1000, Btn.Hint, 0);

then problem will be solved. TntHintWindow haven't supported multiline hints seems.

I'm confirming that this solves the problem.

Thank you very much for working around TntUnicode bugs again !
Keep up the good work.
