   Using the RibbonBar Sample I am trying to get tooltips to be displayed. But cannot find out how to do this.

Is it possible?  Is there a secret I need to know?

	Nothing special, should show tips as it was installed.

	Sorry, here is more information. Tooltips work OK on the RibbonBar tabs, and on buttons in those tabs. But I cannot get tooltips to work on any buttons in popup menus (eg the one that appears when you click on the SystemIcon top left of RibbonBar). Example code: Set PopUpBar3.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, ID_TEST, "Daybook" PopUpBar3.FindControl(, ID_TEST).ToolTipText = "This should appear" If I get the program to debug.print the tooltiptext, it correctly prints "This should appear".
