Not sure this is the correct forum, but I could not find one for toolTipManager.
In the formatted tooltip editor, you can place images, horizontal lines and Hyperlinks, which makes tooltips look pretty cool.
The problem is that I cannot actually click on the link, because the tooltip disapears before I can move the mouse to it.

Hi Bob,
You can't click on a tooltip. If you want to do popup links, you might want to check out the UltraDeskTopAlert component, rather than using ToolTips.
Mike,
Having thought about this, I feel bad for the way my message sounded. I hope that I didn't come off a glib. In perspective, it is a little odd that you can put hyperlinks in tool tips. I was in your tool tip designer and I noticed that the formatted link editor allowed hyperlinks.
Oh! I thought, and I put one in, I tested it using the editor then tried to use it. Much to my chagrin, I could not click on it. I am working on formatted tool tips for my app, and the hyperlinks are a nice addition.
I was really laughing at myself on this one. I hope it didn't come off wrong.
Thanks for your help! Love your products!
Not at all. The tooltips use the same engine as the UltraFormattedLinkLabel and UltraFormattedTextEditor. So they support all of the same tags. But since you can never actually click on a tooltip, there's no reason to use those kinds of tags in a tooltip.
We actually considered somehow disabling links in the tooltips, but it seemed sufficient to document this limitation. So I'm pretty sure it's documented in the help somewhere. But rest assured you are not the first person to ask about this.
As was mentioned previously, this is not possible due to the fact that ToolTips, by their very nature, disappear when you move the mouse. You would be better off showing your own window, or UltraDesktopAlert, if you need this kind of functionality.

Hi, Mike,
is that feature (Hyperlink in Tooltip) possible in new winform release?
Thanks & best regards
