tooltip back and forecolor

[knappster]

Hi, I have a tooltip on a windows form on a datagridview where I change the text for each row that the mouse is on. I have set the forecolour and backcolour to red and yellow respectively and set the isballoon to true. However, when I run the program it is a balloon but the forecolour and backcolour hasn't changed. Anyone know why this is??
Also sometimes the text is cut off when I use the balloon but is okay when not a balloon. Is there anyway of fixing this??

I test tooltip balloons that almost fill the entire screen with any forecolor/backcolor, but I can't replicate the problems you describe. Perhaps someone else will, or perhaps you will post a sample project that show it.

Found out why, it was because I was using Vista that it didn't work, I tried it on XP and it worked fine... Vista must be overriding it with its styles...
