I want to display a ToolTip
message below a TextBox
, but also want them to be right aligned.
I was able to position the ToolTip message at
The ToolTip font is bigger than SystemFonts.DefaultFont so the measurement is incorrect. I don't know what is the exact variable for the ToolTip font, but many of the other SystemFonts are configured to Segoe UI/size 9, which the Tooltip font in my PC. In addition, you have to add 6px for the padding.
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ToolTip myToolTip = new ToolTip();
string test = "This is a test string.";
int textWidth = TextRenderer.MeasureText(test, SystemFonts.CaptionFont, textBox1.Size, TextFormatFlags.LeftAndRightPadding).Width;
textWidth += 6;
int toolTipTextPosition_X = textBox1.Size.Width - textWidth;
myToolTip.Show(test, textBox1, toolTipTextPosition_X, textBox1.Size.Height);
}
For perfect control you could draw the tooltip yourself with Tooltip.OwnerDraw and the event Tooltip.Draw, choosing font, padding and appearance.
