The ASPxHint allows you to specify where hints are displayed on a web page in two ways:

Set the Target Element
Set X/Y Coordinates

Set the Target Element

The target element is a DOM element that invokes a hint window that points to this element in response to user interaction (when a user hovers the mouse pointer over it, clicks it, and so forth) if the callout (ASPxHint.ShowCallout) is enabled.

Use one of the following techniques to specify a target element for a hint:

ASPxHint.TargetSelector property
ASPxClientHint.Show method
ASPxClientHint.Register method

Set X/Y Coordinates

Do one of the following to display a hint at precise X/Y coordinates without targeting a UI element:

Use the ASPxHint.X and the ASPxHint.Y properties.
Use the client ASPxClientHint.Show (ASPxClientHintOptions options) method to show a hint at the specified position.
