How to make ToolTip windows in Visual Basic.Net.

     In Visual Basic 6.0 we had a property for tooltip balloons. All you needed to do was 
   type in the text you wanted to display. In Visual Basic.Net, that feature was removed. 
   That doesn't mean we still can't have tooltips. It may surprise you as to how easy it is 
   to implement this feature along with the ease and user-friendlyness. You will also see that 
   we have much more "say" in what goes on with our tooltips as well. For Example, you can now 
   set the length of time the pointer must remain stationary within the tooptip region before 
   the tooltip text will appear. 

     To get started, start a new project. In your ToolBox look for a ToolTip component. If you do 
   not see one, then right click inside your toolbox and select "Customize Toolbox". Click the 
   ".Net Frameworks Componets" tab, scroll down till you find "ToolTip" then check the box and 
   press OK. You should now see a ToolTip component available. Double click the ToolTip to add it 
   to your project. I re-named mine toolTip. If you look at the propertys available for the ToolTip 
   you will see the very nice Automatic Delay, Initial Delay, ect.. that are now available. I will 
   not go over any of these settings since they are self-explanatory. Go ahead and add a button 
   to the form. I named mine btn. 
   
     In the btn_MouseHover event put: 

   
         toolTip.SetToolTip(btn, "Hello, This is just a simple test....")

		  
     Start your project and place your mouse pointer within the button region and let it sit idle for 
   a few seconds. You should then see the ToolTip balloon popup with the text you specified. Now 
   you see just how simple it is to add support for ToolTips. Go play around with all of the very 
   nice properies available to fully customize your ToolTips.
