Forcefully show tooltip on "Enable=false" control

Question

How to forcefully show tooltip on "Enable=false" control.

I have a checkbox which is enabled false but i want to still show tooltip on it. is there any way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance

Not from the CheckBox control itself, it will no longer receive any mouse messages. Its Parent will now get them. Which gives you a hack around this restriction:

    private void Form1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) {
        if (checkBox1.Bounds.Contains(e.Location)) {
            toolTip1.Show("yadayada", this);
        }
    }

Strictly for entertainment, I have to recommend that you don't do this.
