How To Overwrite The Hint For TUniDBDateTimePicker?

[Frederick]

I have a TUniDBDateTimePicker called datDate on a form. If I hover the mouse cursor over it, a hint of "Expected date format d/m/Y." is shown.

At some of point time later, there is an error with the date entry and I want to show a different hint to the user when the mouse cursor is over it.

And so, I call the following code:-

datDate.Hint:='My New Hint';

However, the control still shows a hint of "Expected date format d/m/Y." when the mouse cursor is over it.

How do I overwrite the hint?

You can use the forum search feature.

 

"Solution":

function beforeInit(sender, config)
{
    config.formatText = '';
}

And use Hint property (also, ShowHint=True) in DesignTime or Runtime.

Ok, thanks. The solution works.

It was not obvious from the earlier topic that disabling the default hint would allow a new hint to be inserted in its place.

Yes you're right, here was a solution regarding disabling the default hint.

This is complete madness that so many things in UniGUI requires solutions, btw this one does not work anymore, that seems like hacks. Why not fix it the proper way instead? Or remove the properties that shouldn't be used from the components?
