Hi,

I am narasimha.
I have a doubt while using mouse.
When we place mouse cursor on an icon/application/anything, cursor shows some details in a dialog box.
Here comes my doubt what that property is called?
How to write program for that in java or c/cpp language?

I am waiting for your reply.

Thank you.

It's called a tooltip, and its presence for a given language is based more on your chosen framework that the chosen language. Implementation is language specific. I suggest you google "java create tooltips" or "C++ create tooltips", and see what's returned.
