Description
This value defines the foreground color for the hatch-pattern (defined by BorderHatchStyle) used to fill the tooltip border. It is only significant for layouts where Border=Hatch.The background color for the hatch pattern is defined by the BorderColor-property. The following table shows some examples of different BorderColor- and BorderHatchColor-combinations. As you see from the samples, also Color.Transparent is supported to create hatched tooltip borders.

If specified at the component-level for a tooltip component (i.e. by defining the BorderHatchColor directly for the component), the assigned color will become the default BorderHatchColor for the tooltips of all controls on the same form:
'Assign a new foreground color for the border hatch pattern
'to the tooltip component
Me.MultiLine.GetMultiLineToolTip(Panel1).BorderHatchColor = Color.Red
This default BorderHatchColor can be overridden for each control through the Override-property provided to all controls on the same form by the tooltip component (see "The Override-Property").
If the override-value for the BorderHatchColor has to be set or changed at runtime for the tooltip of a specific control, code like the following is needed:
'Assign a new foreground color for the border hatch pattern
'to the override-object for Panel1
Me.MultiLine.GetMultiLineToolTip(Panel1).Override _
.BorderOverride.BorderHatchColor = Color.Transparent
Example 1
This statements define a hatched border at the component level. A hatch pattern is selected and the background and foreground colors for the hatch pattern are defined:
'define a hatched border for the tooltips provided by the component (MultiLine).
Me.MultiLine.Border = BorderStyle.Hatch
Me.MultiLine.BorderWidth = 15 'make the border 15 pixel wide
'define the background color for the hatch-pattern...
Me.MultiLine.BorderColor = Color.Transparent
'...and it's foreground color.
Me.MultiLine.BorderHatchColor = Color.Blue
'select the hatch-pattern
Me.MultiLine.BorderHatchStyle = Drawing2D.HatchStyle.Percent50
