It's not posible to show the tooltip if the cursor don't moves over him.

Nope. That's not the defined behavior of the ToolTip component. If you want Tooltips showing over all of your controls without the mouse being anywhere near them, you'll have to draw the ToolTips yourself. This is not a good idea though. You'll end up cluttering your user interface with all kinds of information that the user doesn't need when they become familiar with your app.

Think of if this way. Have you ever seen a Windows application that does this? Why not? Because the user interface was (hopefully!) well thought out to begin with. It should be intuitive to use without all the help showing on every control.

If you want to show a little help with whatever control the mouse passes over, other applications tend to put a short message in the status bar of the application window describing the functionality of that control.

The Windows user experience should be consistant acrossed all, or most, of the applications the user runs. If you deviate from the accepted, and more importantly defined norm's in the Windows User Interface Design Guide, you'll end up confusing the user more than you think you're helping them.
