Tooltips only work once on form

[Steve Cutting]

Hi all,

Using the toolbox I added a tooltip provider to my form, and set the text
for each of my buttons using the properties window.

When I first show the form using .showdialog the tooltips work. However
if I close and re-open the form the tooltips are no longer displayed.

Am I missing something obvious or is this a bug ??

thanks in advance
Steve

When a form is closed, all resources created within the object are closed

the Hide() method.

I don't believe that the form is disposed when closed after a .showdialog.

Further info from the docs:

When a form is displayed as a modal dialog box, clicking the close form
button (the button with an "X" at the top right of the form) causes the
form to be hidden and the DialogResult property to be set to
DialogResult.Ca ncel. Unlike modeless forms, the Close method is not called
by the .NET Framework when the user clicks the close form button of a
dialog box or sets the value of the DialogResult property. Instead the form
is hidden and can be shown again without creating a new instance of the
dialog box. Because a form displayed as a dialog box is not closed, you
must call the Dispose method of the form when the form is no longer needed
by your application.
