status bar type box on a form?

Hey all, let me extemporize.

I want a box of text that will change instructions according to what a user
has their mouse on. So if they are pointint to a button on a form, the text
box will display instructions on what that button does...

Is there a way to do this? I cant think of a way, without clicking...

I do this in a lot of my applications.

Take a look at the MouseMove events for the various controls. I usually add
code to the MouseMove event of the details section of the form to; usually
setting the text in your display text box to blank.

Check out the MouseMove event ... or if the instructions are very brief,
the ControlTipText property.
