    Displaying an info box when button is hovered...


    I want to display an info box (like a windows notification, but from a button) when the button is hovered to explain what the specific button does. Can it be done?

    Try the ControlTipText property on the Other tab of Property Sheet.

    Thanks, that's what I was looking for. But, how can I make it appear instantly, not after 1 or 2 sec?

    Can't. It is what it is. That's why I don't bother with it. I put info labels in red text on form.

    I do notice that once the first popup tip appears, it shows immediately for other buttons when I move quickly, and I mean zero hesitation, to next one.
