tooltips at an angle

Is it possible to create tooltips that are at an angle instead of horizontal.  I have a row or buttons and I want to show the tooltips above the buttons at an angle.  Then I want to be able to show all the tooltips together.  The effect is that a novice user can turn these tooltips on and still use the buttons.  So instead of a single tooltip showing up, all the tooltips display simultaneously until the user dismisses them.  Is this possible with any of the UI controls?

 

thanks.

Hello Tim,

You can only set the content and the header to be vertical rotated to 90 or 270 degrees by setting TextOrientation property of the Content or Heading.
You cannot display several tooltips together because when the tooltip is displayed there is a check whether the mouse location is over the control which tooltip is attached.

Other similar controls are NPopup and NPopupNotify but both are dialog like and you cannot show more than one simultaneously too.
