The docs for both TcxShellOptions.ShowToolTips and TcxDlgShellOptions.ShowTooltips are incorrect. It states that the default is "False" when in fact they both default to True:
TcxDlgShellOptions = class(TPersistent)
property ShowToolTip: Boolean read FShowToolTip write FShowToolTip
default True;
TcxShellOptions = class(TPersistent)
property ShowToolTip: Boolean read FShowToolTip write SetShowToolTip default True;
The docs state that this property slows performance. I am wondering if this is a hold-over of old documentation or if this is still significantly the case. I know the prior revs of the shell controls had performance issues. So what I'm asking is - should the documentation be changed so it is in sync with the source. Or should the source change, since it is better to be on the cautious side (fr slow user systems)

Hi Randall,
Yes, I see the inconsistent description in our documentation. I am forwarding this issue to our R&D team for further processing. You will receive an automatic message once the status of this issue is changed.
As for your second note, while we have significantly improved the performance of our cxShell~ controls in new versions, enabling tooltips can still slow down your application.
