Description

Sets the tooltip text on the user control that is specified by userControlID.

Tooltips are text boxes that appear when a mouse is hovered over a user control. They are used to give the user feedback on the purpose and usage of a user control. They are not to be confused with the actual user control text.

All user controls have no tooltip text by default, unless created using the -tip option.
