Parameters

text
Type: System::String^

A String containing the new ToolTip text.

window
Type: System.Windows.Forms::IWin32Window^

The Control to display the ToolTip for.

x
Type: System::Int32

The horizontal offset, in pixels, relative to the upper-left corner of the associated control window, to display the ToolTip.

y
Type: System::Int32

The vertical offset, in pixels, relative to the upper-left corner of the associated control window, to display the ToolTip.

This version of the overloaded Show method operates identically to the Show(String^, IWin32Window^, Point) version, except that the offset is specified as separate x- and y-coordinates instead of a Point.

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.

UIPermission

Requires AllWindows permission.
