delphihinttopendialog

Is there a way to disable the hint for a TOpenDialog in delphi?

I have a TOpenDialog component I am creating on runtime and I want to disable the hint that pops up over files when it is used. I have not written any exrta code for this than creating the object, executing the object and extracting the filename,, then freeing the instance.

Can I do what I want to do? If so, how do I do this?

    You only need to add this modification to the first form of your application:

    uses ActiveX;

initialization
  OleInitialize(nil);

finalization
  OleUninitialize 
end.
