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.
