I'm not seeing Unicode text shown properly in tooltips with ActiveX 17.2.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong here. It actually seems to ignore any changes to the ToolTipContext properties. Here I just placed a few controls on a form and set the properties the same for each one. The captions all show Unicode, but the tooltips don't. Do I need to enable that some other way?


    Dim f As StdFont
    Dim ctl As Object
    
    Set f = New StdFont
    
    f.Name = "Segoe UI"
    f.Size = 9
    
On Error Resume Next

    For Each ctl In Me.Controls
        Set ctl.Font = f
        Set ctl.ToolTipContext.Font = f
        ctl.Text = ChrW$(&H6667) & "-Text"
        ctl.Caption = ChrW$(&H6667) & "-Caption"
        ctl.ToolTipText = ChrW$(&H6667) & "-Tooltip"
    Next
