Hello everybody. I'm having a very hard time with an ocx. I need to make the tooltiptext of an inner control coincide with Usercontrol.Extender.ToolTipText but unfortunately I discovered that the Extender object is totally unreliable. Just try the attached project, open it, open first the form at design time, then launch it. You'll see that when you first open it in design mode, the tooltiptext is correctly visualized, then it becomes null string at run time, and from then on it stays null. Something similar happens to all extender properties, such as CausesValidation. If you try to retrieve them via extender, you get unreliable values. What can I do? I can only use the extender for my project. Thank you.
