Hi Dave,
Based on my understanding, you'd like to popup a little bubble window with
a pointer to a control on a form, when you rest your pointer on the
control. If I'm off base, please feel free to let me know.
.NET 2.0 has provided ToolTip component, which can be configured to have
such an appearance. We need to set the IsBalloon property to true and then
set the tool tip text for the control.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Linda Liu

Hi;
I wasn't clear enough. What I want is like the bubble that pops up when you
need to authenticate your copy of windows after installing it. The mouse is
not over it and it pops up a rounded rectangle with an edge that is a
triangle pointing to the control. In the upper right it has an X box to close
it.
It is poped up to remind the user about it even if they have never moved the
mouse near it.

The NotifyIcon is what you're looking for ...

Once you add a NotifyIcon to your application you can use the
NotifyIcon.ShowBalloonTip method to show the balloon tool tip.
