Default Hints on controls....

Hi guys

very simple question here...

I'm kind of new to Vb.NET and I'm having a hard time trying to find how to display hints on the components of my form. You know that little yellow tag with the description of the component?

Your help will be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Noe, from Mexico.

Hi there,

Are you referring to Tooltips? If so, you'll need to add a Tooltip control to your form by dragging it from the Toolbox to your form. It won't be added to the form directly, but to the controls tray under the form.

Once you have added that control, other controls will get an additional Tooltip on tooltip1 property that allows you to set the tooltip. Now the control will display the little yellow thingy when you hover over the control.

Cheers,

Imar
