Hello,

Usualy if you have a TButtonGadget with the same ID as a menu item,
the text of the menu item is taken as a tooltip.

Or you can make a string table in the resource containing
a string with the ID of the button gadget, which can have the
form "String1\nString2" - String1 will be displayed in the status bar
and string2 will be displayed as a tooltip.
