Name
ToolTip
Synopsis
The ToolTip
component can provide pop-up tips: the
little yellow boxes that offer pithy assistance to the user if they
hover their mouse over a Control
. It implements
System.ComponentModel.IExtenderProvider
to provide
a ToolTip
extender property for
Control
objects on the design surface.
Programatically, you can use GetToolTip()
and
SetToolTip()
to specify the tip text for a
specific Control
, and enable or disable the tips
with the Active
property. You can clear the tips
with the RemoveAll()
method.
The AutoPopDelay
is the amount of time for which
the tip will show before it disappears.
The InitialDelay
is the period for which the user
has to hover the mouse before the tip will appear.
The ReshowDelay
is the amount of time that must
elapse between the user moving the cursor over another control and
the tool tip updating with the new tip text.
Instead of setting all these individual elements, you can set the
AutomaticDelay
property. This sets each property
to a sensible number, based on the value you provide.
