<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>Use the <a class="xref" href="C1.Framework.XView.html">XView</a> built-in tooltip instead of the regular <a class="xref" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.tooltip">ToolTip</a>
component in order to provide a consistent look between the tooltips associated with XView
elements and other controls on your form.</p>
