how to confine a ToolTip, to monitor's borders?

Hello

according to autoit help, about ToolTip I do not understand this point:
options: 4 = Force the tooltip to always be visible confining it to monitor borders if necessary.

but when I try this code

ToolTip ( "Hi, I am a ToolTip"&@CRLF&@crlf&"Good morning!" , Default, Default, "Title" , 2 , 4 )

Sleep(10000)

the ToolTip remains fixed always in the same position,

what do it means " confining it to monitor borders if necessary."? Is it done automatically or do I have to move it by myself?

thanks for the help

This simply means that the tooltip will always be visible even when you use something like this:

ToolTip("Hi, I am a ToolTip" & @CRLF & @CRLF & "Good morning!", 999999999999, 1000000, "Title", 2, 4)
Sleep(10000)

Test it with and without option 4.
