Description
If one hovers over a constant somewhere in the source with the mouse some sort of tooltip is displayed showing that this item is a constant and where it is declared.

It would be really helpfull if that toolstip could also show the value of that constant, otherwise one has to look it up where it is declared thus causing a interruption in the development workflow.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start IDE

2. load or create some project where a constant is declared

3. use the constant somewhere in the source

4. hover with the mouse over it

5. see the tooltip showing the unit where it's declared but not the value

It does show the const values in the popup in the version I have 10.0.2558.35231.

Try installing the latest hotfixe rollup 1-10f and hotfix 12 (and others when needed)
from http://downloads.codegear.com/default.aspx?productid=8202

(Although CRS2007 does this better when also "calculations" are involved).

For me BDS2006 will fail at the first one, but will give the correct value of WM_USER.
  UM_ACTIVATEFIRSTINSTANCE = WM_USER +   0;

CRS2007 works fine on both.

Okay, will try it again.
