You can use the BarItem.Hint property to specify the hint for an item. Hints are displayed if the BarManager.ShowScreenTipsInToolbars property is set to true.

To specify a shortcut for an item, use the BarItem.ItemShortcut property.

XtraBars allows you to control the hint style and behavior settings using the ToolTipController component. To use it, you need to create a ToolTipController object and assign it to the BarManager’s ComponentEditorContainer.ToolTipController property.
