Picturebox does not have a tooltip feature in visual studio, not that i know of anyway. Here is a work around.
imports System.Drawing
Dim varname as new ToolTip()
varname.SetToolTip(PictureBox1, "Tooltip data here")
If you have added the box with WithEvents then use the following code
Private tool As ToolTip = New ToolTip()
Sub OnPictureMouseHover(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseHover
tool.Show("Tooltip", Me)
End Sub
Sub OnPictureMouseLeave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseLeave
tool.Hide()
End Sub

I draw shapes using graphics and put it on a bitmap and overlay it to the picture box. After that, I want to use the mouse_hover event(PictureBox1) to show tooltip every time I hover in an graphics objects. – Kevs Aug 04 '15 at 17:49
