Question

I have a dynamically filled ContextMenuStrip where each ToolStripMenuItem has a formatted text for the tooltip. And, in order for this text to make sense to the user, I must

OK, thanks to Tony Abrams and William Andrus, the solution is as follows:

• A static instance of ToolTip which initialized.

  toolTip = new ToolTip();
  toolTip.OwnerDraw = true;
  toolTip.Draw += new DrawToolTipEventHandler(tooltip_Draw);
  toolTip.Popup += new PopupEventHandler(tooltip_Popup);    
  toolTip.UseAnimation = true;
  toolTip.AutoPopDelay = 500;
  toolTip.AutomaticDelay = 500;
  

• ToolTip's Popup event to set its size.

  void tooltip_Popup(object sender, PopupEventArgs e)
  {
      e.ToolTipSize = TextRenderer.MeasureText(toolTipText, new Font("Courier New", 10.0f, FontStyle.Bold));
      e.ToolTipSize = new Size(e.ToolTipSize.Width + TOOLTIP_XOFFSET, e.ToolTipSize.Height + TOOLTIP_YOFFSET);
  }
  

• ToolTip's Draw event for actual drawing.

  void tooltip_Draw(object sender, DrawToolTipEventArgs e)
  {
  Rectangle bounds = e.Bounds;
  bounds.Offset(TOOLTIP_XOFFSET, TOOLTIP_YOFFSET);
  DrawToolTipEventArgs newArgs = new DrawToolTipEventArgs(e.Graphics, e.AssociatedWindow, e.AssociatedControl, bounds, e.ToolTipText, toolTip.BackColor, toolTip.ForeColor, new Font("Courier New", 10.0f, FontStyle.Bold));
      newArgs.DrawBackground();
      newArgs.DrawBorder();
      newArgs.DrawText(TextFormatFlags.TextBoxControl);
  }
  

• ToolStripMenuItem's MouseEnter event to show the tooltip.

  System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem item = (sender as System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem);
  toolTip.SetToolTip(item.Owner, "ToolTipText");
