Specifies text that appears when the user briefly holds the mouse pointer over a control without clicking.

Syntax

The ControlTipText property syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
object	Required. A valid object.
String	Optional. The text that appears when the user holds the mouse pointer over a control.

Remarks

The ControlTipText property lets you give users tips about a control in a running form. The property can be set during design time but only appears by the control during run time.

The default value of ControlTipText is an empty string. When the value of ControlTipText is set to an empty string, no tip is available for that control.
