Get current cursor lower left position so that tooltip could be displayed properly

[LiYS]

Hi all, I'm trying to display the tooltip by calling "ToolTip.Show(String, IWin32Window, Point)", but I wanted to do it like what Windows explorer does - displays the tooltip at the lower left corner of the cursor. I could get the mouse position by "MousePosition", but how could I get its lower left corner position? Thanks,

You'd have to get the current cursor icon and work out where inside it is the point that corresponds to the mouse 'position'.

Hi, Most cursors have a size of (32,32); there is SystemInformation.CursorSize, but AFAIK that is a constant, it does not depend on current cursor, and active window. So the easiest thing to do would be to adjust MousePosition by (0,32). BTW: most cursors have their hotspot at (0,0); when this changes, you might want to take that in account too... :)

Thanks for the replies. It seemed “Cursor.Size.Height” could be used。
