Hints not showing inthe status bar

Hi Sergey
I had copied from unit3.* in the actions demo to a new form in my
app. Everything worked fine, except after several changes, now the HINT of the various buttons do not show in the statuts bar any longer.
I tried to recopy from the original unit3 but no luck: in the original one they show, but when i just cut and paste the toolbars into my form, they don't. The hint show around the buttons, but not in the toolbar.
Maybe it's a long shot, but any idea of how can I make the hint show in the status bar?
Thanks
Enrico

Check if property AutoHint of the StatusBar is True.

Hi

Now the hints are disappeared from the button themselves.
I copied the toolbars frorm he Unit3.pas in the Actions demo.
There the hints of each button show. On my do not.
What should I check? The Showhint of the toolbars, are set tu True,
the Showhint of each button also. I do not know (I could not trace where in the actions cocde the hint of the speed-buttons are set (The Object Inpector shows Hint blanks, so they must be set at run time).
Any help as to how can I fix this? (I am talking of the hint that displays when you go over the button with the mouse: they do not show)
Please, any help?

Do you call RVA_LocalizeForm(<form or datamodule containing actions>)?

It's necessary even if you use only English. ActionTest demo does it in TForm3.Localize, called in FormCreate.
