ToolTip in the wrong spot.

I'm using VS 2005.

I'm trying to use ToolTip's for some mandatory field validation. If a user
presses "OK" in my application, it will highlight any mandatory fields with a
nice baloon saying that field is mandatory.

I've got this working nicely with, say,

toolTip.Show("This field is mandatory.", tx_InputDate, 3000);


However, sometimes the tool tip appears in the wrong location. The times it
works properly, it looks great!

Is this a bug? Is there a workaround?

Hi Greg,

You may want to consider using the ErrorProvider component instead.
