ToolTips are a Component; they are not "added" to a Form's ControlsCollection, or to Container Controls' ControlsCollection in a Form, in the Designer.cs file of a Form.

You can build a collection of ToolTips like this:

C#

public List<ToolTip> tTipList = new List<ToolTip>();

// in some method, or EventHandler like Form_Load
// requires Linq, and Collections.Generic:
tTipList = this.components.Components.OfType<tooltip>().ToList();</tooltip>

Rather weird syntax, imho.
