IDD of hint / inifstar blocking it

[nerexis 9]

Hello, 
 

does anyone know what is IDD of "hint" sqf command triggered gui msg box? It seems my infistar is blocking it and I'm not sure what IDD to whitelist.

The idd is 301. Though it seems weird that infistart is able to block that as it is not a display but rather a subclass of RscInGameUI which sqf has no control over...

I have 301 whitelisted but it still doesnt work:
 

/* Use IDD White-List ? */ UDW = "true";
/* allowedIDDs: Insert IDDs here to prevent them from being closed! */
allowedIDDs[] =
{
	/* default idds */
	-1,0,4,5,6,8,12,15,18,24,49,54,55,70,72,101,160,174,177,999,131,63,602,

	//InGameUI
	300,301,302,303,304,305,

I found the way how infistar makes it disappear. So it has function called when frame is rendered which invokes hintSilent ""; command which clears the message:
 

dupecheck_d3dcode = {
	hintSilent "";
	(findDisplay 602) displayRemoveAllEventHandlers "MouseButtonUp";
	(findDisplay 602) displaySetEventHandler ["MouseButtonUp","mousebuttonupinventory = diag_tickTime; "];
	if(cameraView isEqualTo "GROUP")then
	{
		cameraOn switchCamera "INTERNAL";
		systemChat "<infiSTAR.de> TacticalView is not allowed to be used!";
	};
	false
};

Hello,

How did you find it?
I thought it was in a generic 999 display for RscDisplayCommonHint  with onLoad:  uinamespace setvariable ['Hsim_RscDisplayCommonHint',_this select 0];

Looked throught the config.cpp of \a3\ui_f for a class containing the string "hint". I knew that the hint command only works with string and structured text so the control that displays the text can only be a RscStructuredText control. When I found some possible candidates I copied their config into a description.ext of a test mission and created the display to see what it looks like and the RscHint was the right one.

Interesting since you can't actually use it
