Well, good luck on that. Just one other thing. If your control is composite/aggregate of course, you should be able to pull this off without too much difficulty. Otherwise, it certainly would be a boon to be able to have an inside look at the ToolTip class. Some people say some of that kind of source can be found. If you can dig it up, the behavior you want may be no more difficult than overriding a method, possibly only to eliminate the logic fork that refrains from tooltip display when controls are disabled. Personally, I think Microsoft would benefit the development community tremendously by exposing selected source (like this) to us. Instead of our present far-reaching discussion without much tangible to present to each other, dozens of people could recommend just how to override whatever method. That's how it was in Delphi and C++Builder a few years back, before Borland management made the mistake of letting .Net blow them out of the water.
