Hi all:

In Delphi I can specify a hint to be used for both a Help Hint box and
by an OnHint handler by specifying two values separated by a |
character. For example, 

Edit1.Hint := 'Name|Enter Name in the edit box';
Edit1->Hint = "Name|Enter Name in the edit box";

The "Name" part appears in the Help Hint box and the "Enter full name
in the edit box" part can be extracted using the GetLongHint function
for use in an OnHint event handler. 

How do i achieve this in C# ? I only see tooltips property, but it
don't have OnTooltips event, and it don't support multiple section in
tooltips property like delphi do.

Any idea ?
