To reproduce: Add a row and a strip to the command bar, add items, set tooltips, make them hide in the overflow menu, they do not show their tooltips. Workaround: this.commandBar.Rows[0].Strips[0].OverflowButton.DropDownMenu.ToolTipTextNeeded += DropDownMenu_ToolTipTextNeeded; this.commandBar.Rows[0].Strips[0].OverflowButton.DropDownMenu.MouseMove += DropDownMenu_MouseMove; Point mousePosition = new Point(); void DropDownMenu_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { this.mousePosition = e.Location; } void DropDownMenu_ToolTipTextNeeded(object sender, ToolTipTextNeededEventArgs e) { this.commandBar.Rows[0].Strips[0].OverflowButton.DropDownMenu.Owner = this; mousePosition.X += this.commandBar.Rows[0].Strips[0].Size.Width; mousePosition.Y += this.commandBar.Rows[0].Strips[0].Size.Height + 20; new ToolTip().Show("bbbb", this.commandBar, mousePosition, 1000); }
