Since i am Developing an adding i want the tool tip to be displayed on document (there is no form associated with it) how to get the text under the mouse pointer thanx in advance

Answer 1

Off the top of my head look at the ToolTip class. I am sure you need to supply it with the x,y coordinates of where you want it to be displayed. So you just need to get the x,y coordinates of the mouse which should be simple enough.
