Re: Why is the Tooltip Bug Still not Fixed in VS2008?
Sounds to me like it's a problem with XP and not with .NET
I think that's a moot point. NET is supposed to work on XP, and in this
respect it doesn't, on at least two systems, as it has now been
corroborated. Arguably it isn't XP that's trying to show the tooltip but the
NET framework.
Either way it is academic really, so long as the Microsoft XP team don't
point me to the NET team, and vice versa ;-)

I have a workaround, where I remove the button from the tooltip and re-add

Well, I found that I see the same behaviour as you on my XP box at work.
It
must be a setting somewhere that Vista changes, as Vista lets the tool
tip
show in the manner you desire without any special coding.

I'm using VS2008 Pro on XP SP3. In fact, I very recently re-installed
XP
so
it's pretty clean too, but clearly all is not well in the state of
Denmark!

I believe that what GS is describing is the standard process of
draging
the
tooltip control onto your form. This gives an additional "ToolTip on
ToolTip1" property on each control on your form. I too have never set
the
tooltip object inside my form, but rather do it from the properties in
the
designer.
