The easiest way to show the tooltip - it set the text for the associated control.

C# Copy imageCopy
public TestForm()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    //button1 & button2 are children of this form

    toolTip[button1].Text = "Show this tip for the first button";
    toolTip[button2].Text = "Show this tip for the second button";
}
