How can I get the tooltip in a generic way for any control that the mouse is
hovering over in a single application, I dont want to have to code the
MouseHover event handler on every form.

What do you need that the tooltip control doesn't provide?
Add one to the form, then add a tooltip for each control on the form using
the extended property "tooltip text on tooltip1" which appears in the
properties.

You need to write your own Extender Provider control to do this.
Create an extender provider that adds a text property to all controls and
have it service their mouse hover event. When the event is trapped, the
control will raise an event that you can use to update a status bar panel or
indeed, any other text display object with the contents of the property,
Issue 1 of Well Formed has an extender-provider that does this for menu
items. The control can easily be adapted for your needs.

I've built a composite web custom control with a lot of
child controls. I assigned ToolTip values to some of
these controls. The ToolTip pop-ups were working fine
until I monkeyed with the order I am rendering the
controls. I had to do this so that the control rendered
properly when a developer drags it from the toolbox onto
the page. Any ideas?
Below is the meat of the code from my user control. The
remainder is private methods.
