CF 2.0 Toolbar ToolTipText

I've noticed that in VS 2005 CF 2.0 that the toolbar buttons now have
the ability to display a tool tip text message. However, I see no way
to cancel out of the button click event if all I want to do is show the
message. When you click and hold on the button for a half second the
tool tip text appears. I was hoping this would fire an event somewhere
indicating that the user only wanted to see what the button is about
and not actually invoke the click event.

I know this seems trivial but end users do not read the documentation
and tool tip text messages are a nice way to communicate what action a
tool bar button will have.
 
This is the standard behavior for Win CE apps and how they should be
developed.

You could drag the stylus off the button when finished reading the tooltip -
however I have noticed in the Emulators with VS2005 the ButtonUp event
returns the X and Y values of the ButtonDown event. This is not true on
devices however.

Cheers
Simon.
 
Thanks Simon - this worked - moving the styles off the toolbar control
does prevent the Button Click event from firing which is all I was
really after.
