hello, i've noticed that, when a control is disabled, its tooltip doesn't
show up anymore;

is there a way to show the tooltip even if the item is disabled?

Thank you,
Daniel
 
Bamse,

You can set the ShowAlways property to true, which will have the tooltip
always show. However, all controls associated with this tooltip will show,
you can't set it on a control-by-control basis.

Hope this helps.
 
quote from msdn:

"..To enable a control's ToolTip text to be displayed regardless of whether
the Form or container the control is contained within is enabled, you can
use the ShowAlways property. "

and few lines down:

"Note ToolTip text is not displayed for controls that are disabled."


so far, if i have a control that's disabled, the tooltip won;t show
that's the problem that i want to solve;
with Windows API, probably ;)
