I think I must be going mad. This has to be included in .Net and I just
can't find it. Controls on a windows form. How do I get explanatory text
to display when the user hovers the mouse over a control? (i.e. the stuff
that Access calls control tips)

Thanks.
 
Take a look at the ToolTip component in the toolbox - it puts an additional
property on each control so you can specify the text to display when the
mouse hovers over the control.

Have a look for the 'ToolTip' control in the toolbox. After adding one to
the form, the controls on the form will be extended by a property that
accepts the tooptip text.
