Toolbar command button help text.

I cannot figure out how to show the command button help text when the button is in a toolbar.

When mouse hovers over a button in a RIBBON panel I get a tooltip (I believe that is what it is called) showing the command button name and the help text.

When mouse hovers over a button in a TOOLBAR I get a tooltip that shows only the command name.

Please let me know if there is a setting that makes the help text show for toolbar buttons.

Oddly the "tooltip" in the ribbon has a grey background while the "tooltip" in the toolbar is much lighter in color. Not that I care what color they are but it make me think these "tooltips" are not really the same.

I am using Bricscad Pro Version 26.2.05 but this "problem" has been around since I started with V25.

    I just had like a label in front of the command line.

    ID_Offset_10 [_Button("Offset Beams 10",3DDO10,3DDO10)]^C^C^CO10

    But I am using a full custom MNU made in notepad.
