Tooltips on MDI Child Forms?

[briancps]

DO these work. I can add tooltips to forms that are not MDI Child and they work fine using the ToolTip Control. However As soon as I make them an MDI Child - No tooltips - is this a bug or am I overlooking someting.

Any Ideas ??

Thanks Brian

Hmm, maybe I'm missing something here but I Created an example with 2 forms. I added a tooltip to each of them. I also added a button to the first form and added this code for it:

Me.IsMdiContainer = True
Dim frm As New Form2()
frm.MdiParent = Me
frm.Show()

The starup form had its tooltip, and when I hit the buttun the startupform becomes a mdicontainer and opens the second form as a mdi child. The second form also has its tooltip....even if it is a child?!?

You're right - I did the same and it works fine - It then occurred to me that the only difference I can see is that I'm using DevComponents DOTNETBAR for my menus and Outlook style navigation (which by the way is great). I've emailed them in case they have a fix or if there's something else ive overlooked

thanks for your response
