[TypeConverterAttribute(typeof(LengthConverter))] [BindableAttribute(true)] public double HorizontalOffset { get; set; }
<object HorizontalOffset="double" .../>
Property Value
Type: System.DoubleThe horizontal distance between the target origin and the popup alignment point. For information about the target origin and popup alignment point, see Popup Placement Behavior. The default is 0.
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.
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;
