Defining Tag Values

You can store the description about the control in the Tag property. Do not confuse it with the Text property. The text property displays text on the control, where as value of the tag property does not get displayed on the screen. It is for programming purpose only. Typical use of tag property is to display its value as MicroHelp (help that is displayed on the status bar). You can define the Tag property in the Properties sheet for the selected control. You can also make use of tag property for displaying help for the system you develop, in the standard windows help format.
