Question about ToolTip Control -

Hi.

I have added a ToolTip Control to my form and assigned some ToolTip text to each of my buttons etc. However, the ToolTip doesn't display if a button is disabled. Ideally, i would still like the ToolTip to display, whether a button is disabled or enabled. I have set the "ShowAlways" property of the ToolTip Control to True but this hasn't solved the problem.
Am i missing something or just done something really stupid?
Any help or comments would be appreciated!

Thanks very much.
Andy.
