C#: Set position of the arrow in a ToolTip Balloon?

Is开发者_如何学JAVA it possible to change the location of the Arrow / Stem in a Balloon Tooltip? Reason to change is because of a Button, located in the top of the screen, should have a tooltip below it.

broken image link removed

Above is the situation right now, I only need the arrow to be on the top-left side of the balloon.


I used InteropServices to call several User32.dll methods (CreateWindowEx, DestroyWindow, SetWindowPos and SendMessage) to use native Win32 tooltips instead of the WinForms-provided wrapper.

You do not need to do anything special as the placement is automatic according to MSDN. Do have you an issue with ballon tooltip ?
