You have to add a ToolTip component to the form first. This will then add a new psuedo-property to each control that allows you to set the text to be displayed in the ToolTip for that control. There are a few controls that provide there own tool tips, such as the TabControl for each tab, but the majority of controls require a ToolTip component on the form. Note that you never need more than one ToolTip component unless you want the appearance to differ between controls.

this is no good, it must be built in like in vb6

hello! jmcilhinney,

how about mouseover button, like in toolbar...
there is a built in mouse overbutton like that?

You are getting all excited about nothing. Create a form, add a Button, add a ToolTip and set the Button's ToolTip on ToolTip1 property to "Hello World". Run the project and mouse over the Button and "Hello World" will appear in a tool tip box, just like you'd expect.

I have no idea what you mean. What functionality is it that you want that the Button class doesn't provide as is?
