Property Value

Type	Description
Object	The data representing the description of the bar item's hint.

Remarks

Bar items support regular hints and SuperTips. A SuperTip, if specified, has a higher priority than a regular hint.

A regular hint displays a BarItem's caption (BarItem.Content), glyph (BarItem.Glyph), and the Hint object. If the Hint property is not specified, a regular hint is not displayed.

A SuperTip is an expandable tooltip that supports multiple regions. Tooltip regions are arranged one under another, and each can display a specific object and graphics. To specify a SuperTip for an item, use the BarItem.SuperTip property.

The BarManager.ShowScreenTips and BarItem.ShowScreenTip properties allow you to disable hints/SuperTips.
