Captions for controls at runtime

Just a quick question

How do I create the standard windows pop-up captions
which appear when the mouse hovers over a control at
runtime ?

Thanks in advance

Place a ToolTip control from the toolbox onto the form. The controls of
the form will be extended by a property where you can set the tooptip
text.

Hi Steve

Have a look for "tooltip",

If you do it with the designer, it is in your toolbox, when you drag that to
your form than becomes in the property box of every control that can use it,
an extra property available where you can type the text for that popup.

I hope this was the question?
