Put the text for your hint in the "Hint" property and set the ShowHint to 
true. You can also set the Parent Form or Containers ShowHint property to 
true if the controls ParentShowHint property is true (default).  
This will turn on the ShowHint for all the components in the form or 
container saving you time. Hope this helps.
