Hi, thanks for answer. I'know there's the event onmousehover but i think what i want is different. when you are on a button,(like start button of windows xp) a yellow rectangle with a help description is shown. How can i do this? Thanks , regards

This piece of code should do for you : private void startButton_MouseHover(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { startButton.BackColor = Color.Yellow; ToolTip toolTip = new ToolTip(); toolTip.ShowAlways = true; toolTip.SetToolTip(startButton, "Whatever Message..."); }

Set tooltip property at design time , if the button is created dynamically then user code to set tooltip property
