You can do it with some code - draging window (e.g. with system menu - Move) allow to move window high enough but it refuse to stay here. Using code you can do it.

E.g.

BOOL CSyntaxEditOnDialogDlg::OnInitDialog() {

CDialog::OnInitDialog();

................................................

MoveWindow(100, -300, 500, 500);

return FALSE; }

And we cover this exotic case -

That looks fine now for the intellisense menu position. Cant check what happens if the window is above the top of the monitors as the window refuses to stay where positioned (seems to be the case for any window)

OK.

SQL Server 2008 has the same issues with moving windows, Visual studio doesnt (it moves the intellisense menu)

Thanks for testing - essentially all I like to have is working now. Move window with open tooltip or intellisense can force to close tooltip or intellisense but still this is exotic. Partial invisible in very left postion on left monitor - this one I will improve. This is practical case.

A couple of things,

If you have the intellisense menu showing, then move the main window, the intellisense menu stays open (goes behind the window) and doesnt move with the window

If you move the window to the left of the primary monitor (so that it is partly off the monitor), the intellisense menu is partly or completely off the screen. It is OK when to the window is off the right of the secondary monito or off the bottom of the monitors. Couldnt get the window to stay off the top of the screen

Thats how VisualStudio works if the intellisense menu is not showing when inputting into a document.

Intellisense works as it does in SyntaxEdit when inputting into a field, such as you see in forms when browsing the internet

Thats right, What I am suggesting is that rather than popping up the intellisense menu with one item, it just finishes the typing for you with that one item, eg in HTML context, you type in bg you get one option bgsound, instead of showing the intellisense menu with that item on typing , it just replaces the bg with bgsound.
