Detect if Tooltip is shown?

Question

I am manually displaying a System.Windows.Forms.Tooltip on a control using the show method, but how can I detect if a tooltip is currently shown?

If I need to change the method for showing it to find out, that is fine.

You could try ToolTip.GetToolTip(control), and check if the returned value is not an empty string, like this:

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(myToolTip.GetToolTip(myControl)))
{
    // Victory!
}
