How has the ToolTips functionality and capabilities changed in Visual Basic .NET?
In Visual Basic 6.0, you could associate a ToolTip with a control by setting the ToolTipText property of that control. To disable the ToolTips for a form, it was necessary to go through all the controls in that form and set their ToolTipText properties to the empty string. Without using Win32 calls, this was about the extent of the functionality that was available to VB 6.0 programmers. In VB .NET, each form has its own ToolTip component. ToolTips are attached to controls by calling the SetToolTip() method of the ToolTip component. Additionally, in Visual Basic .NET, some new possibilities for easily customizing the behavior of your ToolTips are available. In VB. NET, you can disable all the ToolTips in a form with a single command. The Active property determines whether the ToolTips register in this ToolTip component are displayed. Also, to change the amount of time that the mouse must remain still over a control before the ToolTip is displayed, you can modify the ToolTip.InitialDelay
