To create a balloon tooltip, we just need to set IsBalloon property of ToolTip control to true. The following code snippet create a balloon tooltip and attaches it to a Button control.

ToolTip buttonToolTip = new ToolTip();

buttonToolTip.ToolTipTitle = "Button Tooltip";

buttonToolTip.UseFading = true;

buttonToolTip.UseAnimation = true;

buttonToolTip.IsBalloon = true;

 

buttonToolTip.ShowAlways = true;

 

buttonToolTip.AutoPopDelay = 5000;

buttonToolTip.InitialDelay = 1000;

buttonToolTip.ReshowDelay = 500;

Hello, why is it that the stem of the balloon tooltip is placed above the balloon. I want the stem placed below. How can I do that?
