You will need to have the tooltip text either in the resource files or database(whatever you are using) and set it from there. May be this will help you:

SetToolTip(controlName,textfromResourceFile)

Hi, AFAIK you can't choose the font size, style or family. However you can draw everything yourself any way you like, see this example.[^] [ADDED] Balloon Tips Galore![^] might interest you too. [/ADDED] :)

ាកសដកថis kind of other langauge that i want to show in tooltip control. it isnot a English langauge. understand ? it is just a data that i retrieved from database as a step that u have told me.

If you have retrieved this text from database, just set this as the text for the tooltip. If it does not shows up correct, I think you need to look into encoding. By the way, which language is this?

ok let me tell u again. that langauge can be shown in textbox. because i set that textbox font property. and Tooltip doesn't have font property. so it cannot be display this type of text. so do u know how to set a font property to tooltip control ?

Just a thought, can you assign the tooltip text to a textbox and is it readable. I suspect your database may not support unicode.
