Description

A hint is a pop-up message that appears briefly while the mouse hovers over a control. It usually displays useful information about how to use the UI element, or the type of data that should be entered, etc.

Other properties can be used to customize the delay before a Hint is shown, after the mouse is moved away from the control or form, and how long it will remain visible.
