How to make a note show when the mouse hovers

I want to make a small window popup when the mouse hovers.
I've looked in the Help but can't find any info (probably can't think of a
good keyword)

Are ToolTips control used for that?

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Drag a tooltip component from the Windows Forms tab of the toolbox onto your
form. All controls will be extended by a property that can be used to
assign the tooltip text.

Just me,

Almost the same answer as Herfried gave however in my opinion can his answer
be confusing when you never used that.

Drag a tooltip component from the Windows Forms tab of the toolbox onto your
form.

All controls will in the property grid for that than get an extra property
where the tooltip text can be placed.

Sounds perfect if I can assign the property at runtime.
thanks

Work great

I love this system. It's unbelievable how much capability one can get with a
few lines of code - and someone to point you in the right direction.

Thanks Henfried and Cor

In an application I am writing I use both double click and mousedown, first for playing a track, second for doing a drag. Problem is that , unlike explorer, teh listview does not select the item under the mouse, but does so after a click.. Is there any way to change that behaviour in VB.NET or is there a work around? As it is now the on mousedown the previously selected item is dragged, not the one under the mouse..

I'm trying to mimic how the TreeView shows a full text inplace tooltip when the mouse hovers over of TreeView node whose text is truncated due to skinny form or panel. In the IDE I have Text1.text is 'A rather longish bit of text, may a really long pathname or something similar'; ToolTip1.OwnerDraw is True (this causes ToolTip1_Draw() to run)

Hi, I couldn't find a necessary class which shows when mouse hovers on a link in Webbrowser control. Think of there's a status bar(text), when mouse comes on a link, the URL must be shown in this status bar. How can i do this? Thanks.
