in addition you must add event to the list like:
// add this code to the FormX.designer
this.button1.MouseEnter += new System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventHandler(this.button1_MouseEnter);

Hi,

for the sake of other people having the same problems here is the solution:

What happens in teh code above is that the MouseEnter event is being handled in the Form instead of the button. Also the handling happens when the user presses the button, which means that if the user doen't presses the button the MouseEnter event wouldn't be handled.

The proper way of handling a buttons mouse enter event is by selecting the control in the designer and go to properties and click the lightning button (which stands for events) select the MouseEnter event and double click the empty space beside it. It would auto generated an event to be handled by your button. It looks like this:

void button1_MouseEnter(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
toolStripStatusLabel1.Text = "Hello";
}
