Customizing ToolTip Appearance

I have a formwith following code on form load:

Dim TTpnlHTWP1 As New ToolTip

With TTpnlHTWP1

.AutoPopDelay = 5000

.InitialDelay = 1000

.ReshowDelay = 500

.BackColor = Color.LemonChiffon

.ForeColor = Color.Red

.SetToolTip(Me.TextBox2, "Assumes Options Set To Default Values")

End With

The tooltip shows up on TextBox2, but has standard background/foreground colors.

The BackColor and ForeColor properties are listed in the AutoComplete box, and the code compiles.

Why doesn't the Backcolor and Forecolor property settings take effect?

Appreciate suggestions.
