Solution 1

Yes - ToolTips obey "\r\n" characters and start on a new line.
So

C#

myObject.ToolTip = "Line 1\r\nLine 2\r\nLine 3";

will work fine.

Solution 2

In order to show line-breaks in controls you need to experiment a bit.
Even on the web, <br> doesn't work in an alert, you need to use \n.

So, do a test with various types of line breaks: \n \n\r and so forth.

Or - you could google it . . .
