If you add any control to a MultiPage control on a UserForm, controls with
ControlTipText entries in the Properties window of the Microsoft Visual
Basic Editor(VBE) display their tips during design time.
CAUSE
The MultiPage ActiveX Control enables ToolTips as the control is updated
during design time.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
A ToolTip that you assign in Visual Basic for Applications through the
Properties Code window should be active and appear only at run time.
A MultiPage control presents multiple screens of information as a single
set.
The ControlTipText property specifies text that appears when users briefly
hold the mouse pointer over a control without clicking.
The ControlTipText property lets you give users tips about a control in a
running form. You can set the property during design time, but it only
appears by the control during run time. The default value of ControlTipText
is an empty string. When the value of ControlTipText is set to an empty
string, no tip is available for that control.
