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

Is 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.

alt text

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

+2  A: 

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

The solution lies in the link I put in my answer; MSDN explains how you can override the default positioning by modifying the TOOLINFO structure. Of course, this will need some P/Invoke...

Yeah I saw it. But frankly, I don't know where to start..

I found an old article on CodeProject (after a quick search) that can guide you with the TOOLINFO structure: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/ballontooltip.aspx
