Here tooltips are working fine on ribbonbar buttons, in fact we have modified FWH\samples\rbdesign.prg to allow buttons tooltips editing, and its working.
Please notice that in your example you are setting the tooltip after the ACTIVATE WINDOW ... so the program execution does not reach there until the window is closed.
Here you have the modified rbdesign.prg so you can set tooltips and check them working:
