Tooltip background question

Tooltip background question

• UZone

  Hi Lester,
  
  Thanks for your answer.
  However, setting the background to transparent does not work either. Try the following in XAMLPad - The background is black.
  What I wanted is a tooltip with rounded corners. However, WPF seems to place the toolip in a black rectangle.
  I am using XP. Should I use Vista for this
  
  <Page xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" >
  
  <Page.Resources>
  <Style TargetType ="{x:Type ToolTip}" x:Key="{x:Type ToolTip}">
  <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
  <Setter Property ="Template">
  <Setter.Value>
  <ControlTemplate TargetType ="{x:Type ToolTip}">
  <Border Background ="{x:Null}" Padding="5">
  
  <Border Background ="Transparent" CornerRadius="5"
  BorderThickness="1"
  BorderBrush="Gray"
  TextElement.Foreground="Gray"
  >
  <ContentPresenter Margin ="3"/>
  </Border>
  </Border>
  </ControlTemplate>
  </Setter.Value>
  </Setter>
  </Style>
  
  </Page.Resources>
  
  <Button ToolTip='hello'/>
  
  </Page>

  In the newer bits which will be released sometime soon, this has been addressed and the above code should work fine.

  Until then, You might want to try out Michaels solution. :)

  I think you will find that the ToolTip is not directly displayed within the drawing area, but in a PopUp. You can try styling PopUp for your purposes and see if that does the trick. If the PopUp is in a separate Windows Window then you would need to use the interop solution to use transparency at the window level. I would try the PopUp first and see what that brings to the table.

  <Border Background ="Orange" CornerRadius="5"
  BorderThickness="1"
  BorderBrush="Gray"
  TextElement.Foreground="Gray"
  >
  

  the background should be "transparent" not "Orange"
