# ToolTip Class in C#

A tooltip is a small pop-up window that displays some information when mouse over on a control for a short period of time.\

There are two ways through which we can set tooltip on control. First one is via Class and second one is via Property.

##### Via Class:-

```
private void btnTooTrip_MouseHover(object sender, EventArgs e)        {            ToolTip ttp = new ToolTip();            ttp.SetToolTip(btnTooTrip, "Click me to execute.");                   }
```

##### Via Properties:-

Step1:-Take one button on windows form and drag-drop tooltip control on form

Step2:-Write popup message on button’s properties “ToolTip on ToolTip1”
