## Description

In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to set the ToolTipText property of the RaChat control Toolbar action buttons.

## Solution

To set tooltip text for action buttons in the toolbar, access the `ToolbarActionElement` objects inside the `ItemsLayout`. Use the following code snippet:

````C#

foreach (ToolbarActionElement element in this.radChat1.ChatElement.ToolbarElement.ItemsLayout.Children)
{
element.ToolTipText = "ToolTip Text";
}

````
