ShowHints: Boolean;
The ShowHints property determines whether the tooltip should appear if the mouse cursor is kept over the element.
If the property is set to True, the tooltip is displayed when the mouse cursor is kept over the elements. The text of tooltip for the element is set in the Hint property. If the Hint property is not defined, the text of tooltip corresponds to the text of the element.
If the ListViewStyle.Report style is set for the component, the tooltip text corresponds to the text in the area of that column where the mouse cursor is. The tooltip is displayed, if the text of the element does not fit into the column area. The tooltip set in the Hint property is displayed when the mouse cursor lingers in the area of the first column of the component.
NOTE. When the style of the component is ListViewStyle.Report, the tooltip set in the Hint property is displayed in the area of the first column regardless of the element text length.
