How have you implemented your custom tool tips?

WPF standard behaviour for tooltips, even customized ones, is that it appears next to the cursor, as in this example;

XML

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication4.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <StackPanel>
        <Button Content="A" ToolTip="Simple"></Button>
        <Button Content="B">
            <Button.ToolTip>
                <Grid Width="100" Height="100" Background="DeepPink">
                    <Label Content="I am not simple"/>
                </Grid>
            </Button.ToolTip>
        </Button>
    </StackPanel>
</Window>

Unless your tooltips require some very special treatment, you should be able to do customized versions using that type of construct.

Hope this helps,
Fredrik
