CREATE A HELP LABEL WHEN MOVE OVER BUTTON

Question

Hi I wish to create a label that appears when you move over a button or something else and explains its function. And it should hide after a sec or 2. It should apear at mousepointer. What I tried : 1. Created a label  with the help text in it. 2. On mouseover - button -> show label. 3. On mouseleave - button -> hide label. I supose this is an orthodoxe way of doing it. There has to be a better way and where the label show at mouse pointer and leaves after 2 sec. If somebody has experience with that.. Thx Mas

Try a tooltip. this.toolTip1.AutoPopDelay = 2000; this.toolTip1.InitialDelay = 500; this.toolTip1.ReshowDelay = 100; autopopdelay is the time before it disappears initial delay is how long it takes to appear and reshow delay is the wait when it moves from one region to another. in ms of course! to add a tooltip to a button do this: this.toolTip1.SetToolTip(this.Button1 text for the tool tip); :-D That all goes in the initializing code for the form.
