Change winform ToolTip backcolor

Question

I am using a ToolTip control in my project. I want to set its backcolor red. I have changed ownerdraw property to true and backcolor to red. But no result. Any suggestion?

Set these propeties:

yourTooltip.OwnerDraw = true; 
yourTooltip.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;

then on the Draw event use this :

private void yourTooltip_Draw(object sender, DrawToolTipEventArgs e)
{
    e.DrawBackground();
    e.DrawBorder();
    e.DrawText();
}
