How do I popup tooltip from a shape control?

You could do something like the following;

Dim tp As New ToolTip()

Private Sub OvalShape1_MouseHover(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OvalShape1.MouseHover

tp.Show("OvalShape tooltip", ShapeContainer1, OvalShape1.Left, OvalShape1.Top, 5000)

End Sub

Private Sub OvalShape1_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OvalShape1.MouseLeave

tp.Hide(ShapeContainer1)

End Sub

You can use also:

ToolTip1.SetToolTip(Me.ShapeContainer1, "hehehe oval shape!")

where:
Me.ShapeContainer1 = New Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.ShapeContainer
Me.OvalShape1 = New Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.OvalShape
