ToolTips are really nice when you want to display some info about a control/thingy without filling the form with labels. To use one, just add a ToolTip to your form.
You can set various properties that change the behavior of the ToolTip. The standard values are often the best. To look up each property visit this page.

You can attach a ToolTip to several controls. To set some text to show when your mouse is hovering over, for example Button1, add this little piece of code to your Form.Load event handler:

Code: Select all

ToolTip1.SetToolTip(Button1, "This is Button1. Nothing happens if you click it")

To remove every associated control you can simply use ToolTip1.RemoveAll()
If you want to display the ToolTip without having to move the mouse over a control, you can use this to show it:

Code: Select all

ToolTip1.Show("ToolTip was shown", Me)

The second parameter could be any control the ToolTip will be displayed over.
Simple as that
