Adding pop up help on command buttons

T

I have several buttons on a form which a user can use to navigate around my
database.

I'd like to have a textbox that I will appear at the bottom of the form that
will change whenever the user hovers above one of the control buttons. How
is the best way I can achieve this?

If you put some text in the button's ControlTip Text property, it will pop
up as if by magic when the mouse hovers over the button.

Magic!!! That's what I was looking for. But is there also an event for when
the mouse hovers over a control?

Here's a short tutorial on TheScripts site that explains the use of the
MouseMove event and gives an example. What you do, in a nutshell, is use the
control's MouseMove event to trigger something (such as a pop up message)
then use the form's Detail section MouseMove event to reset (make the pop up
disappear) the behavior.

The MouseMove event is available for all major controls on a form, including
command buttons.
