ToolTip

Version: 9.0

A ToolTip control displays a tooltip. A tooltip is a small, rectangular pop-up window that contains a brief description of a SPEAK control. All SPEAK controls have a ToolTip property that also shows a tooltip for the control. When you use the ToolTip control instead of the ToolTip property, you can set the style and the behavior of the pop-up window in a number of ways that you cannot do for the ToolTip property.

The ToolTip control displays a tooltip for a specific control. You specify the association between the controls in the TargetControl property of the ToolTip control.
