I think firing a form is the way to go. You could make it with no border, no title bar, etc. so it is sleek (i.e. not bulky) looking.

I suppose you could maybe show a bitmap too. Or an Editbox for that matter. Just make it appear where you want on a right click.

>I have a mapping application that I need to have information about a map coverage appear when the right mouse button is clicked on a geographic feature. I guess I could fire a form off but that seems a little cumbersome for just a peek at the data. Is there some other technique I could use to display that information quickly. Maybe like a giant tool tip window. I would appreciate any ideas on how to handle this problem.
