Hey,

I am looking for a specific custom control. I am drawing some rectangles to my picture box, now I would like to display a tooltip when someone moves his mouse to one of the rectangles, so a hover rectangle-hover event. Does this sound doable at all? If yes, is there anyone that has made such a control already? If no, how would I go about making my own? Thanks!

Have a look at this. You can do some really cool things with this free tooltip library:

You can also try the ToolTip Class in Windows Forms.

Hm will take a look at the library later, thanks. Though, can't use the ToolTip class, because the rectangles aren't a control.
