What exactly is it you want to do? For most purposes, you just add a Tooltip and set values against controls. Some controls provide their own tool-tip (and mechanism to set the text).

    [STAThread]     static void Main()     { // example code only... doesn't do cleanup         Application.EnableVisualStyles();         Button btn = new Button();         Form form = new Form();         form.Controls.Add(btn);         ToolTip ttip = new ToolTip();         ttip.SetToolTip(btn, 'Hello world');         Application.Run(form);     }

re the comment; then just something like:

form.Shown += delegate {     ttip.Show('hi', form, 0,0, 3000); }; 

(where form could be the form, ‘this‘, or any control)
