This is for Windows Forms or WPF? Any question involving UI's needs to specify the framework used. — Mike Zboray, Sep 06 '14 at 17:45
Mr. @KrushnakantLadani i am searching the exact thing but when i tried "this.GetChildAtPoint(e.Location)" always returned null value [note my checkbox is present in a panel and i have already tried "panel5.GetChildAtPoint(e.Location)"] — Agent_Spock, Sep 07 '14 at 09:32

Not from the CheckBox control itself, it will no longer receive any mouse messages. Its Parent will now get them. Which gives you a hack around this restriction:

    private void Form1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) {
        if (checkBox1.Bounds.Contains(e.Location)) {
            toolTip1.Show("yadayada", this);
        }
    }

Strictly for entertainment, I have to recommend that you don't do this.
