Remarks
Hints are supported for groups and links if the NavBarControl.ShowGroupHint and NavBarControl.ShowLinkHint properties are enabled. You can specify hints for groups and links via their NavElement.Hint properties. The GetHint event allows you to customize hint text dynamically, according to your needs. Event parameters allow you to determine the group or link on which the hint is about to be displayed. You can change the hint text for the currently processed element.
When the VSToolBoxView paint style is applied, hints for links are not displayed. In this paint style, only hints for groups can be supplied.
If the NavBarControl is painted using the VSToolBoxView style, the hint appearance can be customized via the event’s Appearance parameter. To change hint appearance in other paint styles, add a DefaultToolTipController component onto the form, handle its ToolTipController.BeforeShow event and customize the event’s Appearance parameter.
