I'm using a ToolTip for a WinForm app. The tooltip
show a tip to the user. I would like to limit the
tooltip to showing only 3 times. I tried to program
both the SetTooltip method and the PopUp() event handler
to dispose the tooltip after 3 times, however it didn't
work as expected...

Is there any solution?

Thanks for your help.

The tooltip attaches itself to the MouseHover event. You could handle the
same event and limit the tooltip or even unhook it from it's event list.

See a recent article in Windows Forms Tips and Tricks on how to obtain the
invocation lists of events via reflection.
