Examples
The following example shows how to create and position a ToolTip.
<Ellipse Height="25" Width="50"
Fill="Gray"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
ToolTipService.InitialShowDelay="1000"
ToolTipService.ShowDuration="7000"
ToolTipService.BetweenShowDelay="2000">
<Ellipse.ToolTip>
<ToolTip Placement="Right"
PlacementRectangle="50,0,0,0"
HorizontalOffset="10"
VerticalOffset="20"
HasDropShadow="false"
Opened="whenToolTipOpens"
Closed="whenToolTipCloses"
>
<BulletDecorator>
<BulletDecorator.Bullet>
<Ellipse Height="10" Width="20" Fill="Blue"/>
</BulletDecorator.Bullet>
<TextBlock>Uses the ToolTip Class</TextBlock>
</BulletDecorator>
</ToolTip>
</Ellipse.ToolTip>
</Ellipse>
//Create an ellipse that will have a
//ToolTip control.
Ellipse ellipse1 = new Ellipse();
ellipse1.Height = 25;
ellipse1.Width = 50;
ellipse1.Fill = Brushes.Gray;
ellipse1.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left;
//Create a tooltip and set its position.
ToolTip tooltip = new ToolTip();
tooltip.Placement = PlacementMode.Right;
tooltip.PlacementRectangle = new Rect(50, 0, 0, 0);
tooltip.HorizontalOffset = 10;
tooltip.VerticalOffset = 20;
//Create BulletDecorator and set it
//as the tooltip content.
BulletDecorator bdec = new BulletDecorator();
Ellipse littleEllipse = new Ellipse();
littleEllipse.Height = 10;
littleEllipse.Width = 20;
littleEllipse.Fill = Brushes.Blue;
bdec.Bullet = littleEllipse;
TextBlock tipText = new TextBlock();
tipText.Text = "Uses the ToolTip class";
bdec.Child = tipText;
tooltip.Content = bdec;
//set tooltip on ellipse
ellipse1.ToolTip = tooltip;
'Create an ellipse that will have a
'ToolTip control.
Dim ellipse1 As New Ellipse()
ellipse1.Height = 25
ellipse1.Width = 50
ellipse1.Fill = Brushes.Gray
ellipse1.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left
'Create a tooltip and set its position.
Dim tooltip As New ToolTip()
tooltip.Placement = PlacementMode.Right
tooltip.PlacementRectangle = New Rect(50, 0, 0, 0)
tooltip.HorizontalOffset = 10
tooltip.VerticalOffset = 20
'Create BulletDecorator and set it
'as the tooltip content.
Dim bdec As New BulletDecorator()
Dim littleEllipse As New Ellipse()
littleEllipse.Height = 10
littleEllipse.Width = 20
littleEllipse.Fill = Brushes.Blue
bdec.Bullet = littleEllipse
Dim tipText As New TextBlock()
tipText.Text = "Uses the ToolTip class"
bdec.Child = tipText
tooltip.Content = bdec
'set tooltip on ellipse
ellipse1.ToolTip = tooltip
Remarks
You can position a ToolTip by setting the PlacementTarget, PlacementRectangle, Placement, HorizontalOffset, and VerticalOffsetProperty properties. These properties behave the same as they do for a Popup. For more information, see Popup Placement Behavior.
