Description

Use THintWindow to display a Help Hint pop-up window directly from an application. Override THintWindow to customize the window that appears automatically for controls with their ShowHint property set to true. After overriding THintWindow to create a new derived type, assign the new type to the global HintWindowClass variable at application startup, so that the new hint window type is used for Help Hints. 

The hint window's BiDiMode is always set to the BiDiMode of the control that activates it. If the mode is bdRightToLeft, then the hint is left-aligned to the cursor.
