I have ToolTips turned on to display when a user hovers over a text box. Currently the tooltip's display position seems to be based on where my mouse pointer is on the text box.
Is there a way to always set the tooltip position to a specified point regardless of the mouse pointer's position when hovering over the text box? For example, I always want the tooltip position to be in the upper left corner of the text box regardless of where the mouse pointer is hovering on the text box.
Thanks
Bill
Is there any way of controlling the width of UltraToolTip? I am displaying a big 128x128 icon and some text underneath, but I cannot find any means of controlling the width of the tooltip and long lines of text make it extremely wide. There is UltraToolTipInfo.Appearance.TextTrimming property, but it has no effect since I cannot set the width of the tooltip itself.
Oh, I don't think you can do it via a property setting. You have to use the ShowToolTip method and pass in the values. Check out the ShowToolTip Method sample.
Thanks Mike.
Yes, I am using the UltraToolTipManager but I can't seem to find where I can set those properties. Can you help me out a little further?
Hi Bill,
What tooltip are you using? The Inbox ToolTip or UltraToolTipManager?
UltraToolTipManager allows you to specify exclusion areas and the exact point you want. There's a sample that does exactly what you describe, pointing a balloon tip at the corner of a control.
