ToolStripItem.ToolTipText Property

Definition

Gets or sets the text that appears as a ToolTip for a control.

C#
public string ToolTipText { get; set; }
C#
public string? ToolTipText { get; set; }

Property Value

A string representing the ToolTip text.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to set the Image, ImageScaling, and ImageTransparentColor for a ToolStripItem. In addition, it demonstrates how to set and show a custom ToolTip for the item.

C#
internal ToolStripButton imageButton;

private void InitializeImageButtonWithToolTip()
{

    // Construct the button and set the image-related properties.
    imageButton = new ToolStripButton();
    imageButton.Image = new Bitmap(typeof(Timer), "Timer.bmp");
    imageButton.ImageScaling = ToolStripItemImageScaling.SizeToFit;

    // Set the background color of the image to be transparent.
    imageButton.ImageTransparentColor = Color.FromArgb(0, 255, 0);

    // Show ToolTip text, set custom ToolTip text, and turn
    // off the automatic ToolTips.
    toolStrip1.ShowItemToolTips = true;
    imageButton.ToolTipText = "Click for the current time";
    imageButton.AutoToolTip = false;

    // Add the button to the ToolStrip.
    toolStrip1.Items.Add(imageButton);
}

Remarks

ToolTipText works only if ShowItemToolTips is set to true. If AutoToolTip is set to true, the Text property for the item is used as the ToolTipText.
