Since the ToolTip doesn't do what I need, I created my own based on a Label using C#. My problem is when my tooltip is too big, the Label is cut by the Form. The Label displays in the form and not on top of the form.

Can I make a Label to display on top of the Form to allow it to be bigger than the Form and see the entire Label? If yes how!?

One way to accomplish this is to just use a separate form and place the new form (with your label) on top of the existing form.

Optionally, you could handle the SizeChanged event of the Label and expand your form to be greater than or equal to the size of the Label.
