Can we add text message with a botton ?

Is there some way to display a text message when mouse event occurs in
the bounding rectangle of the button or Icon. Just to give clear
information to the user for that button and Icon.

You mean a tooltip?

Thank you, sir. I had quite forgotten that tooltips were not supported in
CF1, but it is seems that they are supported in CF2.

But tooltips are only supported for the toolbar <smiley type="sheepish

Yes, you can probably do this by detecting the desired Mouse* event in
a Form and checking the "mouse" position coordinates. Check the
MouseEventArgs in your event handler and compare with the coordinates
of your control to find out if it's had a mouse event triggered inside
its bounds.

Check the Form class members for events you can handle:

I'm pretty sure that stuff is all compatible with the .NET CF but the
MSDN lib never says if Event Handlers are CF compatible.
Good luck!

Yes, mouse events for forms *do* work in .Net CF 1 and 2. But I doubt if
this suggestion would.
