Tooltip for disabled controls

[Scott Palmer]

I like this idea too.  If it is acceptable breakage as far as the
backward-compatibility goes then I would say it is the cleanest approach.
 It is basically what I was trying to do with the idea of an alternate
event chain... the alternate chain being just to avoid breaking the
existing filters and handlers.  Here is another idea.  How about a new
interface that extends the EventHandler.. it is only a marker interface to
use with event filters to indicate that you should deliver events for
disabled controls?  That way all existing Event Filters still don't get
called.  Would something like that work? I haven't taken the time to think
it through.
