I am converting from windows standard ToolTip to ultraToolTip. I am having a hard time getting the tool tip to popup in the correct position. Windows standard ToolTip had an overload that I used. The overload positioned the tool tip at the end of the control based on the window.
Overload I used
void ToolTip.Show(string text, IWin32Window window, int x, int y, int duration)this.toolTip1.Show(myText.ToString(), myWindow, myControl.Width, 0, 5000);
I cannot find an equivalent to this. I have tried this but it does not position correctly.
Point myPoint = new Point(myControl.Location.X + myControl.Width, myControl.Location.Y);
this.ultraToolTipManager1.ShowToolTip(myControl, myPoint);
Any suggestions?
The Location property of a control is in client coords - relative to the form or container that the control is on.
ToolTips are expecting screen coords, since a tooltip is not limited to the container.
So you have to use PointToScreen on the control to convert the coords.
That is what I was looking for. Thanks for your patience I am learning as I go.
