Tooltip on a label widget?

[Alex]

Hi all -

I'm trying to put a tooltip on a label in csharp... I found an example
that says to add some code to the InitializeComponent() method, but that's
in the .Designer.cs file - which says to not edit it.

Is there a different way to go about it that is designer friendly?

....in InitializeComponent():

this.labelsToolTip = new System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip(new
System.ComponentModel.Container());

....in form:

this.labelsToolTip.SetToolTip(label1, "First Label");

Thanks!

I don't understand your problem here.
Tooltips can be placed on any Control ased object. In fact the only thing it
excludes is another tooltip.

Tooltips can be placed on labels at design time with no problem.
