Create a popover-like control in C# WinForms?

Question

So, one of my favorite things about iOS/ObjC in general is the "popover" control. I am building an app in C# WinForms that would benefit greatly from this type of control- anyone have any ideas on how I might be able to emulate this type of look?

For reference, here's an example screenshot of what I'm talking about http://i.imgur.com/IzbbzrA.png

Thanks for any ideas!

Answer 2

I don't think such a control exists in .Net. What I would do from this point if I were you is try to making one using a customized windows form on top of it. Play with the Mouse Hover events of the control and make the form appear for a short time. Make it without borders. With a little imagination you can have your own version of the PopOver.
