I wish to show what the control does by hovering the cursur over it, right clicking, or some other means. Basically a help file which explains more detail about the control and its function. Is there a way I can accomplish this. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Michael

ToolTip is the general method of adding help to a control, I have been known to add a help icon to each form and allow the user to edit their own help data, never happens of course!

Hi Michael, It might be helpful to know if you are speaking "in general" here, or if you have a specific scenario in mind. Is it the case that you want what is shown to provide information to persist until the user "tells it to go away," or is a ToolTip, which you do have some control over how long it stays visible, good enough. Do you have a certain type of user in mind here: a programmer, for example; or, a very non-technical end-user ? I'm guessing you intend this for a programmer. It seems almost 100% certain to me you are talking about displaying information while your application is running, but, if that's not the case, please do state that. yours, Bill
