problem setting tooltip to ToolStripStatusLabel on StatusStrip

I have a statusStrip on a form with some ToolStripStatusLabels - which
function as Previous Record/Next Record, New Record buttons. And instead of
text, I place an image on the ToolStripStatusLabels (prevArrow,
NextArrow...). I wanted to add a tooltip to these labels (that resemble
buttons). But VB2005 is complainng that I can't convert a
ToolStripStatusLabel to a control.

Is it possible to set a tooltip to a StatuStrip ToolStripStatusLabel? How
to do it?

Here is what I tried that doesn't work:

MyToolTip.SetToolTip(CType(tssLPrevBeg, ToolStripStatusLabel), "Go to
beginning of dataset")

Is there a way to do something like this?

Thanks,
Rich
