Position of hint window

VCL TMS VCL UI Pack
1

Hi!

I'd like to change the position of the hint window on a grid. By default it's aligned to the left upper corner to a cell, but I'd like it to be align to the mouse courser, like when you hover the mouse over a button.
I already tried to modify AdvGrid.pas in the THTMLHintWindow.ActivateHint window and that did the trick a few versions ago, but after updating to the latest version that doesn't work anymore.

Any help would be appreciated!

The place where to change this is in the method

AdvStringGrid.ShowHintProc()

Change:

    if IsComment(RCol,Row,HintStr) then
    begin
      HintInfo.HintPos.x := HintPos.Right;
      HintInfo.HintPos.y := HintPos.Top;
    end
    else
    begin
      HintInfo.HintPos.x := HintPos.Left;
      HintInfo.HintPos.y := HintPos.Bottom + 6;
    end;

to

    if IsComment(RCol,Row,HintStr) then
    begin
      HintInfo.HintPos.x := HintPos.Right;
      HintInfo.HintPos.y := HintPos.Top;
    end
    else
    begin
      HintInfo.HintPos.x := HintInfo.CursorPos.x;
      HintInfo.HintPos.y := HintInfo.CursorPos.y;
    end;
