ToolTip Property

Returns or sets the tooltip text associated with the tab.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property ToolTip As String
public string ToolTip {get; set;}
Remarks

By default, there is no tooltip assigned for a tab. However, when there isn't enough room to completely display the text for the tab, the TextResolved will be displayed in a tooltip. The ShowToolTips is used to determine whether any tooltips are displayed.

Example
The following example demonstrates how to use the InitializeTab event to initialize settings for a new MdiTab object.

For an overview of how to handle events in Visual Basic or Visual C#, see Event Handlers in Visual Basic and Visual C#. For specific information and code examples illustrating how to consume events in your application, see Consuming Events in the .NET Framework Developer's Guide.
