Details

Use the Hint property to provide a string of help text either as a Help Hint, or as help text on a particular location such as a status bar.

A Help Hint is a box containing help text that appears for a control when the user moves the mouse pointer over the control and pauses momentarily.

• Specify the Hint property of each control for which a Help Hint should appear.
• Set the ShowHint property of each appropriate control to true, or set the ParentShowHint property of all controls to true and set the ShowHint property of the form to true.
