Hi all,

Is there any way I can make a disabled control to show
its tooltip? I know in MSDN it says it's not possible,
but if you know any trick to get around this...

If it is really not possible, is there a way I can
emulate this behaviour?

Thanks in advance
 
I wanted to do this, but couldn't. In the end I settled for an ErrorProvider
on the controls, and changed the icon to be a blue circle with white
question mark, to inform the user why the control was disabled.

(It's part of my databinding stuff.... business object properties have hooks
for the data-bound controls, so that data exchange is carried out
automatically, as are state changes and validation, so the error providers
show red exclamation for validation failure and blue question for property
not amendable. Simple dialogs only have to attach controls to properties and
do nothing else.)
