CreateFrame - frameType: GameTooltip

What's wrong with the code below?

CreateFrame("GameTooltip", "ST_Tooltip", UIParent, "GameTooltipTemplate");
ST_Tooltip:ClearAllPoints();
ST_Tooltip:SetPoint("CENTER", UIParent, "CENTER", 0, 0);
ST_Tooltip:ClearLines();
ST_Tooltip:AddLine("My frame", 1, 1, 1);
ST_Tooltip:AddLine("Second line", 1, 1, 1);
ST_Tooltip:Show();

I cannot see my frame on the screen.

Tooltips require an owner frame. You need to use ST_Tooltip:SetOwner().

Lua Code:

local tt = CreateFrame("GameTooltip", "ST_Tooltip", UIParent, "GameTooltipTemplate")
tt:SetOwner(UIParent, "ANCHOR_TOP", 0, -400)
tt:AddLine("My frame")
tt:AddLine("Second line")
tt:Show()

OK, thanks everybody, addon works correctly.

Lua Code:

ST_Tooltip=CreateFrame("GameTooltip", "ST_Tooltip", UIParent, "GameTooltipTemplate"); 
ST_Tooltip:SetOwner(UIParent, "ANCHOR_CURSOR");
 
GameTooltip:HookScript("OnTooltipSetItem", function(self) 
  ST_Tooltip:ClearLines();
  ST_Tooltip:AddLine("My frame", 1, 1, 1);
  ST_Tooltip:AddLine("Second line", 1, 1, 1);
  ST_Tooltip:Show(); 
);
