The problem is that when you use ctlPositionStyle = 1 it tries to position the balloontip near the cursor, and if there is selected text in the textbox, there is no cursor to find. I have coded a workaround that checks if there is selected text, and positions the balloontip using a style of 2 (aligns to active control).
I will post a new version later today.
Also I have added some new features, you can select to show a close button in the balloontip, fade in, fade out. Also you can put a link in the tooltip, for example with a web address, and it will open that page in the default browser when the user clicks the link.
A ctlEvent was added, that tells you when the balloontip gets hidden, and why (user clicked on it, user clicked in form, user clicked close button, etc)
