Tooltip on Windows Form

I'm using your 1.6.4 windows forms control. It is working pretty well! The only issue I've run into so far is the position of the Tooltips isn't quite right. If I have Chrome open to the same site it seems to show the tooltips consistently below the cursor as expected. When I use your control the tooltips tend to flicker and don't always show up when they are expected. They also are commonly positioned under the cursor. I mean the cursor is covering part of the tooltip so that it is unreadable. I would gladly fix this issue myself if I had the ability to disable your tooltip entirely and do my own. Alternatively, you could make some of the necessary objects (properties) public instead of private so that I can just change the position of the tooltip.

Any help on this will be appreciated!

Thanks,

Eric

    Hello Eric,

    Thank you for your feedback. We currently do not provide the ability to customize the behavior, or substitute the tooltip of the Windows Forms WebControl.

    This feature has been added to the WPF WebControl but it will not available to the Windows Forms WebControl until the next minor update, expected within the next couple of weeks.

    Hello Eric,

    This is issue is fixed in our latest update, v1.6.5. You can download the Windows installer here, or if you have a previous version installed, you can select the "Check for Updates" shortcut in the Awesomium SDK folder (Start Menu). OS X and Linux packages coming soon.

    Solution:


    In all WebControls, you can now handle ToolTipChanged and set ChangeToolTipEventArgs.Handled to true to prevent the control from showing its default tooltip.

    Regards,
    Perikles
