Hi Eric,

I have run your sample program on my machine and did see the problem.
After
doing some tests, I found that the balloon tooltip doesn't point to to the
target control, only when it pops up for the first time. This problem
doesn't exist when the tooltip appears for the second time. In addition,
if
I set the ToolTipText property for the textbox on the tooltip, the tooltip
points to the textbox correctly even when it pops up for the first time.

I have searched in our inner database and found a similar issue in it.
This
is a known bug and the workaround is to call the Show method of the
ToolTip
twice.

The following is a sample.
private void SetToolTip(ToolTipIcon icon, string title, string message)
{
_toolTip.IsBalloon = true;
_toolTip.ToolTipIcon = icon;
_toolTip.ToolTipTitle = title;
_toolTip.Show("", this);
_toolTip.Show(message,this);
}

I have tried it on my machine and confirmed it works.

FYI, our evaluation determined that this bug does not meet the criteria to
be addressed in this release. This evaluation is carefully done and
considers many aspects including fix cost, breaking changes,
globalization,
performance, etc. Additionally, as part of planning and analysis of future
versions this bug will be considered again for possible inclusion.

Thank you for reporting this issue to us!

Sincerely,
Linda Liu
