This version of the overloaded Show method operates identically to the Show(String, IWin32Window, Point, Int32) version, except that the offset is specified as separate x and y coordinates instead of a Point. To display the ToolTip modally, call the Show(String, IWin32Window, Int32, Int32) overloaded version of this method instead.
Applications running in partial trust must assert the AllWindows permission to use this method, as Show can control the display and location of a ToolTip independent of user action.
