How to display ToolTip in Text Index and not on MouseCursor?

Question

is it possible that tooltip will locate in textindex and not in mouse cursor?

note im working tooltip in text in windows form.

here's my sample tooltip:

 toolTip1.AutoPopDelay = 5000;
        toolTip1.InitialDelay = 1000;
        toolTip1.ReshowDelay = 500;
        //toolTip1.ShowAlways = true;
        toolTip1.ToolTipTitle = "<)( Text ToolTip )(>";
        toolTip1.UseFading = true;
        toolTip1.UseAnimation = true;

parameter:

 for (int i = 0; i < keywords.Length; i++)
            {
                if (keywords[i] == token)
                {
                    // Apply alternative color and font to highlight keyword.        
                    HighlighType.keywordsType(rtb);

                        toolTip1.Show("this is a keyword", rtb); //&
                        break;
                }
            }

when a keyword will be type in richtextbox, something like for example "as" ,tooltip will appear but in a MOUSEcursor only , i want it near textindex .

is that possible? thanks a lot!

it's easier that you search for something already implemented out there (seems not so easy topic). — Tigran

you need to combine ToolTip.Show (String, IWin32Window, Point) Method with GetPostitionFromCharIndex

so you get the Point of the text from GetPostitionFromCharIndex and pass it to the ToolTip.Show
