System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip.Show Method

Sets the ToolTip text associated with the specified control, and then displays the ToolTip modally at the specified relative position.

Syntax

public void Show (string text, IWin32Window window, int x, int y)

Parameters

text
A string containing the new ToolTip text.
window
The System.Windows.Forms.Control to display the ToolTip for.
x
The horizontal offset, in pixels, relative to the upper-left corner of the associated control window, to display the ToolTip.
y
The vertical offset, in pixels, relative to the upper-left corner of the associated control window, to display the ToolTip.

Remarks

This version of the overloaded erload:System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip.Show method operates identically to the ToolTip.Show(string, IWin32Window, System.Drawing.Point) version, except that the offset is specified as separate x- and y-coordinates instead of a System.Drawing.Point.

Applications running in partial trust must assert the System.Security.Permissions.UIPermissionWindow.AllWindows permission to use this method, as erload:System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip.Show can control the display and location of a ToolTip independent of user action.

Requirements

Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Assembly Versions: 2.0.0.0
