Is it possible to display tooltips on a JComboBox?  I cannot figure out how
to display a tooltip on an unselected combobox.  If I do the following,
nothing happens!

myCombo.setToolTipText("Select something from here");
ToolTipManager.sharedInstance().registerComponent(myCombo);


Thanks for your help,
Barry Silver
