C # Show tooltip about disabled text field (form)

Question

I am trying to get a tooltip to display in a disabled text field while mouse is clicked. I know, because the control is disabled, the following will not work:

private void textBox5_MouseHover(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
       // My tooltip display code here
}

How can I get a tooltip to display with the mouse with the control disabled?

Many thanks

MouseHover will not work if control is disabled. Instead, you can check the Form MouseMove event if you are hovering a text field

    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        textBox1.Enabled = false;
        toolTip.InitialDelay = 0;
    }

    private ToolTip toolTip = new ToolTip();
    private bool isShown = false;

    private void Form1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        if(textBox1 == this.GetChildAtPoint(e.Location))
        {
            if(!isShown)
            {
                toolTip.Show("MyToolTip", this, e.Location);
                isShown = true;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            toolTip.Hide(textBox1);
            isShown = false;
        }
    }
