Overlapping tool tips -

When a listview item is clicked, it's value is written to a textbox, and the textbox's tooltip is set thus.
Dim tt As New ToolTip
tt.SetToolTip(txtItem, strToolTip)
Then a different item is clicked, and so a new value and tooltip is set.
But if the second tooltip is shorter, the end of the first is shown too.

I would have thought the As New would have erased the original tooltip.

What am I missing ?
