There is no specific method in CButton Class | Microsoft Learn[^], so you most likely need a subclass, or use one of the notification messages.

but Can I use "mouse move" like event?

You can use any event that sends a notification. So you need to review the documentation (see link above) to see which notification messages are posted by the button.

MFC has the CToolTipCtrl class which allows you to setup tooltips for the dialog controls view areas and so on, along with that you can enable or disable it, manually popups at specified point, setup hiding timeout and more.
