Is there anyway I can do the following:

When a cursor is run over an icon or a pictur a message can come up to give information and automatically go away once the cursor has passed the picture

Each control on a form has a property call ControlTip Text. Set this to whatever text you want displayed and it will pop up over the control when your mouse moves over it.

I have managed to do that but I was thinking more. I have lots of buttons to goto different forms. If the cursor was moved over the buttons a description would come up in a box in the bottom right corner of the screen (like on some web pages)
