I have this Delphi code to set the cue text of a control on my form:
procedure TfrmMain.SetCueText(edt: TWinControl; cueText: string);
const
ECM_FIRST = $1500;
EM_SETCUEBANNER = ECM_FIRST + 1;
begin
SendMessage(edt.Handle,EM_SETCUEBANNER,0,
LParam(PWideChar(WideString(cueText))));
end;
I want the same effect on a TMemo, but the MSDN document says:
You cannot set a cue banner on a multiline edit control or on a rich edit control.
Is there a standard way to have a cuetext effect on a TMemo, or do I have to fiddle with the OnEnter/OnExit events and roll my own?
