System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip.Show Method

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

Syntax

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

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.
duration
An int containing the duration, in milliseconds, 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, int) version, except that the offset is specified as separate x and y coordinates instead of a System.Drawing.Point. To display the ToolTip modally, call the ToolTip.Show(string, IWin32Window, int, int) overloaded version of this method instead.

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.
