I've got a C# Winforms application, and I'd like to add a little tutorial for new users. So when they start the application, I'd like a little box to appear next to a button, saying that they should click that button. And when they visit a new form for the first time, using the same approach to draw attention to important controls. As well as text, I'd like this little thing to have a button to dismiss further tutorial messages.
The thing is, I have no idea what actual winforms control to use for this. Should I use a Dialog, with a custom border? Or could I somehow use a tooltip that doesn't go away when the mouse is moved? Or is there a different control that I don't know about? Or, even, is there a third party control that will do this?

While I can't think of a way to do it with built-in controls, you can make a borderless unmovable form and make it look like a tutorial box.
