Regardless of whether a BarCommand's ToolTipEnabled property is true or not, BarCommandLinks residing in menus do not seem to show/support display of tooltips.
I'm not sure if this was a bug or intended, but this kind of functionality is needed for cases such as a most recently used/opened list in File menus - the length of text assigned to the BarButtonLink's Text property for such an item frequently has to be compacted in order to not overly enlarge the entire menu, in which case it is useful to have the full text displayed as a tooltip for that item - and this ability is consistent with the base MS MenuStrip controls.
Perhaps this can be addressed by changing ToolTipEnabled to be an enum with 3 states(Menus and Toolbars, Toolbars Only, disabled) with the default value being Toolbars Only.
