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?

I was not able to reproduce that using your code on a Windows XP
Professional machine running .NET 1.0.

I have been having the exact same problem. If anyone has a solution,
that would be great!
