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

Set The Target Element
Set X/Y Coordinates

Setting a Target Element

A target element is a DOM-element that invokes a hint window pointing to this element in response to user interaction (hovering the mouse pointer over it, clicking it, etc.) if the callout (HintSettings.ShowCallout) is enabled.

To specify a hint’s target element , use one of the following ways:

The HintSettings.TargetSelector property
The client ASPxClientHint.Show method
The client ASPxClientHint.Register method

Setting X/Y Coordinates

To display a hint at precise X/Y coordinates without targeting a UI element, use one of the following ways:

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