Description

When the mouse cursor hovers over a button for a short while, a tooltip will be displayed. Set the psTooltip property to the text that you want displayed whenever a tooltip is displayed. You can create multi-line tooltips by embedding a "\n" in the text, to force a newline.

If you want dynamic tooltips for the button, you can augment the OnShowHint event, to modify this property before it is displayed.

Default is "".

ToolTips can display a single line of text or multiple lines. You can embed the CR LF characters in your ToolTip string to break the string into multiple lines.

Define CR_LF for (Character(13)+Character(10))

Set psToolTip to ("This is a ToolTip string that is split" + CR_LF + ;
                  "across two lines.")
