How to show hint for a disabled TDBEdit?

I have a TDBEdit that is not enabled and thus not showing the Hint.
What would be the best way to have it display the Hint while staying disabled?

Drop your disabled TWinControl (TDBEdit is a TWinControl) onto an enabled TWinControl container (a TPanel for example) and set the TPanel hint to the desired value.

The only thing I can think of is overlaying the TDBEdit with a fully transparent control that has ShowHint set to True and a Hint property set.
