Tooltip is a hint that shows short or customized text about the bar item when the mouse hovers over it. By enabling the ShowToolTipInPopUp property of bar items, tooltips can be displayed while mouse hovering. The Tooltip property is used to set the short format or customized text for each bar item.

NOTE
In this illustration, the BarItem has been used. Similarly, the tooltip can be set for ParentBarItem, DropDownBarItem, ComboBoxBarItem, ListBarItem, StaticBarItem and TextBoxBarItem.

The below code snippet will explain how to set tooltip for bar items.

C#

this.barItem3.ShowToolTipInPopUp = true;
this.barItem3.Tooltip = "Used to copy the selected contents";

VB.NET

Me.barItem3.ShowToolTipInPopUp = True
Me.barItem3.Tooltip = "Used to copy the selected contents"
