Hi,
I want achieve this: when user select in a TStringGrid any cells I
want in Hint window show some information about selection.

I am going use TStringGrid.OnSelection event handler.

Is there any simple way (other than using own THintWindow) how to show
my Hint on f.e. mouse position ?

I am trying:
  Application.Hint := 'My hint text';
+Application.ActivateHint etc.

But it does not work for me.
What is purpose of Application.Hint property and how to force show
this Hint ?

Try : your_string_grid.ShowHint:= False; then, your_string_grid.Hint:=
'bla, bal,bla...' and finally
your_string_grid.ShowHint:= True; //Application.ProcessMessages
