C#: Add ToolTip To A PictureBox

Posted by tech on

February 5, 2009

While some controls within Visual Studio include a property to have a ToolTip, some do not. Take the case of a PictureBox. Since there is no tooltip property for you to set a tooltip text, you would have to do it programmatically. The ToolTip class is part of the System.Drawing namespace. To add a tooltip to a PictureBox object, simply do this code.

ToolTip tt = new ToolTip();
tt.SetToolTip(pictureBoxObject, "This is a tooltip text");

Donations appreciated. Every little $ helps. Or click Google +1
