Re: HAVE SHAPE MOUSE_MOVE EVENT
Shape controls do not support any events, nor do they have a tooltip property.
If you need these things you may be better off using a Picturebox instead of a Shape, assuming your shapes are rectangles/squares (and even if they are not there are some underhand tricks - e.g using SetWindowRgn API call - to make pictureboxes in different shapes)
or ,you could write your own code to detect whether the mouse is over a particular shape, and then more code to display a fake tooltip-like popup at the correct place. But using a Picturebox will be easier.
