2.Right click and select Object Property.

 

The "DB Memo Properties" dialog box is displayed.

 

3.In the "Hint:" field, enter "Enter all relative flight information." You may need to expand the "Hint" panel if no field is displayed directly beneath the word Hint, and verify the "Show Hint" attribute is checked.

 

When you hover your mouse cursor over the field, the hint is displayed. The hint will appear when you run the form and in the Form Designer.
