Control to show text based on where mouse pointer is

How do i get this? Which control shows some text when i keep the mouse cursor there for a while?

enter image description here

Edit: I have a timeline in my program. I want the tooltip to show the time value in milliseconds at the point where the mouse cursor is... Is it possible to have a flexible tooltip over a control?

if you want to display some text over the print button named "printBtn", Then add the event mouse hover as below

printBtn.MouseHover += new EventHandler(printBtn_MouseHover);

Then, use the following code to display the text when the mouse is over the print button

void printBtn_MouseHover(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   ToolTip tip = new ToolTip();
   tip.SetToolTip(printBtn, "Click to print");
}
