ToolTips not showing

I have a working VB.NET program to which I added a ToolTips control and
set the main Form with some tooltip text, but the tooltip is not shown
when the Form appears.

I tried making a simple program with just a Form and tolltip control.
This works.

I went back to the first program and added a debug before the "Me.Show"
(see below). Still no tooltip.

Debug.WriteLine (ToolTip1.GetTo olTip(Me))
Me.Show()

Any ideas how to debug this further?

Thanks
Tom

Do something similar to this for your tooltip(s) to show. I the case of this example, I have a ComboBox on my form and I want
it to show a Tooltip message when the mouse pointer is over a ComboBox. So, I put the Tooltip code in the ComboBox's MouseEnter
event.
Hope this helps.'

Private Sub ComboBox1_Mouse Enter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles ComboBox1.Mouse Enter

ToolTip1.SetToo lTip(ComboBox1, "Click Down ARROW on Right to Select Client Name")

End Sub

Hi, I have attached tooltips to some buttons on my toolbar, but the tooltips at some times are showing up behind the form.

I added a toolbar to a form and added one button. I made sure ShowToolTips = true for the Toolbar, and have set a tooltip for the button. The problem is the tooltip only shows after clicking somewhere on the toolbar itself. It seems it needs to have the focus before tooltips will show. Any ideas? Greg
