Description:
I want to show different hints for the LayoutItem's Control, Caption and Glyph. Is it possible to accomplish this?
Answer:
This functionality is not supported in the current version of the ExpressLayout Control. However, you can achieve the desired result by using the TcxHintStyleController.
Just handle the LayoutControl's OnMouseMove and check the hit information there. If the Item's caption is under the mouse cursor, call the ShowHint method of the TcxHintStyleController for the corresponding item.
Attached is an example that demonstrates this approach in action.
