Hello,
I have written a Custom Control which inherits from ToolTip and it is an
OwnerDraw tooltip.
In the Popup event I calculate the size of the tooltip I need to display
(rather large tooltip) and resize it using the ToolTipSize property.
In the Draw event, I draw my tooltip.
All that works well, but when I hover over a control associated with my
tooltip, if the control is closer to the right edge of the screen than my
tooltip is wide, my tooltip gets parly displayed off the screen.
I have 2 questions:
1. isn't a tooltip normally supposed to auto-adapt its position so that it
always stays entirely visible, even if the control which displays it is
close to a screen edge?
2. is there a way I can programmatically change the tooltip location (after
the Popup event fired and just before its gets displayed)?
It looks like C# computes the tooltip location BEFORE I change the tooltip
size in the Popup event and does NOT adapt the tooltip location when I
change its size in the Popup event!
Thanks for help!
