title: Windows and Hints in Delphi
body: <p>This morning I finally made my mind and decided to ask you for help. Problem is that in my Delphi application no hints are shown at all...
  I have read about THintAction problem, I have read guides/tutorials/manuals, tried to invoke Hint windows ( firing event handlers ) manually, but nothing worked. They just doesnt show.
  I have run out of ideas ...</p>
  
  <p>I have tried to: setting parent showhints on components, forms, from event handlers, application activatehint() ...</p>
  
  <p>Is there any other way to do this ( except API calls, of course )? </p>
