It's not that hard to accomplish this.. you can use a text box on the form which you just set the top and left coordinates to where you want it to be.

You could have a look at the fancytooltips control in the download section this gives you a speech bubble appearance.

I suppose I would write a litte function which takes an object as a parameter (be it a form or a toolbar button etc) with the message you want and maybe another parameter to indicate Top, bottom Left & right

Then if you wanted this to relate to the X on a form just call it with Thisform, "Chick on me to close", "Top Right"

You can also simulate mouse movements using the mouse command (user can still intervene with mouse)
