[DUG] Mouse and Hints

[John Bird]

Thanks for that, will use it, in general however Delphi does not know about
the Mouse Snap to setting?

Its very useful.  (Control panel/mouse/snap to) I always have it turned on -
means for instance with a dialogue box the pointer is already on the default
answer, so you can just click without moving and looking, most times it's a
real time saver.  (Except in Delphi)

will work but also changes the text in the title bar.

  mouse.CursorPos := BitBtn1.ClientToScreen(Point(bitbtn1.width div 2, 
bitbtn1.height div 2));;
