[Feature Request]: Allow "Any" control in a tooltip (i.e. hyperlinks)

[Wagnerp]

This might be already supported, but the idea came from here

[Smurf-IV]

Some other ways:

• https://docs.devexpress.com/WindowsForms/15721/common-features/tooltip-management/how-to-display-a-hyperlink-in-a-tooltip

• https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/15007/XSuperTooltip-Office-2007-Super-Tooltip-class

Or take it a step further and allow any control in a tooltip (This is my vote ;-) ):

• https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/37912/Embedding-NET-Controls-to-NotifyIcon-Balloon-Toolt

@Smurf-IV Where is the 'KryptonToolTip' located?

Also, should a new 'NotifyIcon' control be created to support 'KryptonToolTip' usage?

It is called VisualPopupToolTip

Also, should a new 'NotifyIcon' control be created to support 'KryptonToolTip' usage?

Not sure I follow

Does the standard 'NotifyIcon' only allow system balloon styles (which go back to Windows XP, Vista & 7) with no image embedding?

Ok, My understanding is:

• The NotifyIcon is placeholder for the icon within the TaskBar icon area, that allows a form of "Toast UI interaction" with Windows prior to Win 10. [https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/37912/Embedding-NET-Controls-to-NotifyIcon-Balloon-Toolt]
• In Win 10 it is recommended to use a "Proper" toast control so that it works in the tiles better (Mostly UWP apps) [Windows.UI.Notifications].
• The Balloon was the simplest way to indicate which Icon was performing the notify / toast.
• In WPF, it is possible to use a custom NotifyIcon, which would then allow a custom Toast area [http://www.hardcodet.net/wpf-notifyicon]
• The Menu for the right click is also possible to override in WPF

So I think this is a new request to have a NotifyIcon -> Kryptonised, so that it can have a KryptonMenu [https://www.grapecity.com/componentone/docs/win/online-menus-toolbar/linkingthec1contextm.html] and KryptonToolTips (KryptonToast)?

I'll make a new request, pointing to your previous comment

Should this be renamed and moved to ext ?
