StaticBox - tooltip is not displayed

I've added a tooltip to a StaticBox - but it is not displayed when the
mouse cursor is over the StaticBox.
To work around this, I've had to add the tooltip to the StaticText
objects inside of the StaticBox.
It's not a big problem - I just want to understand why the tooltip is
not displayed.

Is anyone else seeing this problem?

wx version '2.8.10.1 (msw-ansi)'
Python 2.5.4, Windows 7

Most likely because the widgets contained in the static box are 'above' it in the z-order, so the mouse events that trigger the tooltip are not getting to the static box.
