THE HINT PROPERTY


To provide maximum compatibility for those already using UNIGUI and already having projects developed, I had to "think outside the box."


Instead of creating new components, I wanted to take advantage of native resources.


What I realized is that all visual components have a "hint," and the hint property has plenty of room to be manipulated as our instruction container.


RC Elements, which we already used at the beginning of this documentation and which we will see in detail shortly, is nothing more than an EDITOR for the content of the components' hint property.


RadCORE will manipulate the hint to interpret the "dynamic attributes," and you can take advantage of these resources by creating and manipulating new properties/parameters for use in your application.


It's important to know some specific functions for manipulating the hint:


    rc_GetHintProperty

    rc_SetHintProperty

    rc_AddHintProperty

    rc_PosHintProperty


Starting with version 8.0, these functions have been renamed:


    rc_GetHintAttr

    rc_SetHintAttr

    rc_AddHintAttr

    rc_PosHintAttr
