How to associate tips with controls?

Hi All,
 
Is there any way to associate tips with control?
 
When my application is running,when the user drags over his mouse on the control,is there any way to s[ecify the purpose of the control.
 
ie,if i have a button called "plot",whenever the user drags his mouse over "plot"i want to display a tip indicating that this button's purpose is to plot graph.
 
IIs there any way like that?
 
 
Thanks

Just Rt Click on the Numeric ( or whatever )-->> Description & Tip... thats it.

Tip will come as tool tip when you run the VI. Description will offer you a detailed help when you do Ctrl+H while running the VI.

Hope this helps you in more detail.
