ToolTip control and DataGridView

The DataGridView implements it's own tooltips for cells by default.

You'll have to set DataGridView.ShowCellToolTips to False before a tooltip control you've added will work.

Well, it works fine for me...

So you've added a tooltip control to your form (lets say "ToolTip1"). And then you set the dynamic property on the datagridview: DataGridView1.ToolTip on ToolTip1 = "some text"

And then you set DataGridView1.ShowCellToolTips = False

And then when you run the program and mouse over the DataGridView and wait, no tooltip displays?

That sounds odd... Is there anything else going on when the DataGridView has a MouseOver or MouseEnter event? Anything changing focus?
