what is the proper way to do fire off a manual call to enhtooltip?

for example, i want a tooltip for a particular item and i want it to get the enhtooltip experience if enhtooltip is installed. what i've been doing is something like this:


GameTooltip:SetHyperlink("item:"..itemID)

if EnhTooltip and EnhTooltip.TooltipCall then
local name, link, quality = GetItemInfo("item:"..itemID)
quantity = numMade
EnhTooltip.TooltipCall(GameTooltip, name, link, quality, quantity)
end


which works great. only, if i use a non-gametooltip with specific placement, it seems the enhtooltip call moves the tooltip. for example:


tip:SetOwner(frameParent, "ANCHOR_NONE")
tip:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT",frameParent,"TOPLEFT", -10, 0)

tip:SetHyperlink(link)

tip:Show()


if EnhTooltip and EnhTooltip.TooltipCall then
EnhTooltip.TooltipCall(tip, name, link, quality, quantity)
end


if i don't call enhtooltip.tooltipcall then the frame is positioned where i want it (it's top right cornere is locked to the topleft corner of my desired parent)

if do call enhtooltip, then it moves it down so that the topright corner of the tip is at bottom left corner of the desired parent frame. the issue might be related to the setparent call having some shortcuts for positioning which sadly don't fit my desired layout, so i use a hardcoded setpoint call. it seems the enhtooltip call must resize the tooltip frame and in doing so, it seems to lose the positioning i defined and it ends up in a "default"ish position.

i tried rearraging the calls, but doing a setpoint after the enhtooltip call to manually move the tooltip resulted in non tip showing up.

what am i doing wrong?

woot! that's me!

i have never used irc before... i can give it a try tho.
