Hi, Aravind,

The disabled controls do not receive mouse events and this is the reason why the tooltip is not shown.

There are two possible solutions for this case:

• Enable the control, but make it Read-only, so the tooltips will be shown(you can customize the background, foreground, and border colors so the control looks disabled).
• Keep the control disabled, handle mouse events in the form , and show the tooltip when necessary.

Here are a few StackOverflow questions on this topic:

• Displaying tooltip over a disabled control
• Is it possible to disable a control but still receive events for that control?

Thanks Todor Vyagov, if textbox is not enabled , then tooltip not showing, if i set read only then showing , thanks for your reply.
