Tooltip Falls Behind App

[pagates]

Hi All,

Using VS2003.

I am seeing a problem with using ToolTips.

I am using a tree control, which has a tool tip defined for each node. I
wrap this control inside another, and then place this on a Windows Form app.

The problem I'm having is that the ToolTips are being shown behind the
Windows app. If needed, I can put a screenshot somewhere, but bascially, you
can see the tooltip (if large enough) outside the borders of the app, but not
over the control.

Is this a known issue, and/or does anybody have a workaround?

Thanks,
pagates

does anybody have a workaround?

I've noticed that this problem does not happen if the ToolTip is created after the window has been displayed. Therefore I create the ToolTip after the initial display. Paint is a convenient event to do this.

In the constructor, eg:

this.Paint += new PaintEventHandler(OnPaint);

In OnPaint:

this.Paint -= new PaintEventHandler(OnPaint); // once is enough
myToolTip  = new System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip(this.components);
// now do whatever you like with the ToolTip
