# Screen Tips

Telerik **RadRibbonView** provides a simple and consistent way for building interfaces similar to the ribbon control used in Microsoft Office. The **RadRibbonView** consists of various elements, one of which are the **Screen Tips**. This topic discusses concepts fundamental to the **Screen Tips** at first and then goes into the usage of the **ScreenTip** class and its features.

## Fundamentals

> You can access the **ScreenTip** control through an alias pointing to the **Telerik.UI.Xaml.Controls** namespace: `xmlns:telerik="using:Telerik.UI.Xaml.Controls"`

**Screen Tip** is a UI feature in which a small window appears when the **mouse cursor** is hovered over an icon or a ribbon element (command). The **popup** window will provide details that explain the command's function. In some instances, though, the **Screen Tip** will display only the item's name. When the mouse is moved away from the ribbon element, the **Screen Tip** will disappear from view.
