Help! ToolTips for Menu items

Hi, I'm just now learning VB.Net using VB 2010 Express. In VB6 and earlier, if a text was enterted in the ToolTipText property, at run time the text was displayed when the mouse hoovered over the control. After reading this forum I read about the ToolTip1 control and was able to add tool tips to buttons (which explained why I didn't see a tooltiptext on a button control); however, I still haven't figured out how to show tool tips for Menu items. I have entered text into the TollTipText property and set the AutoToolTip to true; but at run time it does not show the tip. What am I missing?

Thanks for the link, but it does not answer my question; and hat is, how to show tips for Menu items.

Sorry I misread your question.

All my forms have autotooltip to true and whatever is in the ToolTipText comes up. Is there any more information you can give us? What are you using for your menu, a ToolStrip?

No, a MenuStrip
