Display the Customize dialog box by pointing to Toolbars on the View menu and clicking Customize. For menu bar and toolbar controls, display the menu bar or toolbar, and then right-click the control whose TooltipText property you want to set. For shortcut menu controls, select the Shortcut Menus check box on the Toolbars tab of the Customize dialog box, then find the shortcut menu control you want on the menu bar that's displayed and right-click the control. Click the Properties command. Enter the text you want in the ToolTip box.

Example

This example sets the last control on the active menu bar to begin its own group, and then adds a ScreenTip to it.

Set myMenuBar = CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar
Set lastCtrl = myMenuBar.Controls(myMenuBar.Controls.Count)
lastCtrl.BeginGroup = True
lastCtrl.TooltipText = "Click for help on UI feature"
End With
