I would like to display a ToolTip (WinForms) when the Control associated recieves focus (when the control.enter event is triggered) as oppose to having the ToolTip displayed when the mouse hovers over the control,How can this be accomplished(Im developing in C#)?
 
Hi Vinny,

Your question is not very clear but as I got it

you should be able to do it by just dragging the Tool Tip control you found
in the Tool box directly to the Form. once you did it you will havethe tool
tip property available for the control in that form.

That will Set The ToolTip to The Specified Control ,But The ToolTip Message Is Only Displayed When The Mouse Hovers Over The Control.I Would Like The ToolTip Message To Be Displayed When The Control Recieves Focus.
 
I guess you have bit of a work here one is writting a tool tip class by
extending the exiting one, here you may have to refer to the c# spec and
find which method fired when mouse hoover a control and you can fire the
same method as the focus event fired.

Again there are some other control like balloon tip control, you may find it
if you search in google, which even you can develop quite easilly,
