Hi Deng,

Thank you for writing.

The default ToolTips used are the standard ToolTIps. Those do not allow altering their size. As an alternatively, I can offer using RadOffice2007ScreenTipElement here is an example:

public partial class Form1 : Form
   {
       RadOffice2007ScreenTipElement screenTip = new RadOffice2007ScreenTipElement();

       public Form1()
       {
           InitializeComponent();

           radButton1.ScreenTipNeeded += new ScreenTipNeededEventHandler(radButton1_ScreenTipNeeded);
       }

       void radButton1_ScreenTipNeeded(object sender, ScreenTipNeededEventArgs e)
       {
           RadButtonElement btn = e.Item as RadButtonElement;
           if (btn != null)
           {
               screenTip.CaptionLabel.Text = "Very very long text ";
               screenTip.MainTextLabel.Text = "Main text";
               screenTip.AutoSize = false;
               screenTip.EnableCustomSize = true;
               screenTip.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(500, 500);
               btn.ScreenTip = screenTip;
           }
       }
   }

I hope that you find this information useful.
