tooltip

I'm writing a custom TreeView from ScrollableControl. I decided to show tooltips when mouse is hover nodes with text too long to display.

I find out when tooltips are shown, user would not be able to click the node to select it, because (I think) he's clicking the tooltip window, not my control.

Is there any easy solutions? As I can see System.Windows.Forms.TreeView don't have this problem. Thanks!
