WPF - Tooltip Property

Developing applications with Windows Presentation Foundation can use the control palette of our business is large enough to comfortably walk. Tool box in the controls increased Framework and CodePlex, such as code.msdn web sites projects with the help to further increase is continuing. WPF in graphical and visual power of the everyday life of the control is also available through most simple applications, the most complex applications are given the opportunity to develop. 

This one we used on the most fundamental WPF controls Tooltip property and examines how to use features, features we will be trying to examine. 

WPF - Tooltip   

WPF application for end users and developing the components in the component palette and edit a lot you'll use. Have made our process works and what each control then click on what works and then prepare a document describing.However, among the world does not change the facts. End users do not read the documents easily prepared. This is the reason that the texts written on the clicks to be very careful Convectional choose and try to write text algınacak easily. However, with a maximum of two three words can describe what comes to mind words like that. Tooltip help in this case, we will grow. Control the mouse on a written explanation required üle we could stop, we can show pictures are very nice feature. Now, how to use this feature, let us begin to explain with the help of examples. 

Almost all of the controls with the mouse in the properties of the Tooltip property of a control point when information disclosure is a nice feature to show the wound. We want to be able to write a value to assign Tooltip will suffice. 

<Button Content="Submit">
    <Button.ToolTip>
        <ToolTip>
            <StackPanel>
                <TextBlock FontWeight="Bold">Submit</TextBlock>
                <TextBlock>Server on request..</TextBlock>
            </StackPanel>
        </ToolTip>
    </Button.ToolTip>
</Button> 

Tooltip property of the button control, we've added two adert TextBlock control and the mouse is over will allow to be displayed. Now run the project for testing purposes and the results are a look at. 



Seems to have realized we want. From the user when the button on the button that describes what works on a very short explanation is. 

Of course, in practice always be active at all in the form of kontorllerin is never a rule. In some cases, checks may be shown in passive state. But we have been passive in the control and that we were preparing a Tooltip always want to display. There needs to be done in this case TooltipService URLs into the circuit as shown in cases where Convectional Disable will allow. 

IsEnabled = "False" in cases where the checks TooltipService.ShowOnDisable = "True" feature using the Tooltip in'll allow to be displayed. 

<Button IsEnabled="False" ToolTip="Fill all areas..." ToolTipService.ShowOnDisabled="True" Content="Save" />

Passive control when the mouse pointer over the button, we would like the following screenshot. 


Fine. In cases where the buttons are active will continue to display Tooltip. However, we call if we cancel the service will experience Tooltip is not displayed. Tooltip 'feature in the other how much we are able to specify a time period can be displayed. For this TooltipService again. 'It is enough to take advantage of features in ShowDuration. 

<Button ToolTip="Fill all Areas..." ToolTipService.ShowDuration="20" Content="Save" /> 

We have written into the Tooltip text displayed on the screen after two seconds will be lost. 


Tooltip feature different scenarios very easy Somehow we have seen in kullanbildiğimizi. Now let's work deals with the visual side. We use the form on the windows of this type already used for all URLs we could. Practices, but not forget that we are developing with WPF, and this is presented to us teknlojinin visuals and flexibility we are able to use them all. Here we take advantage of this flexibility into the tooltip case i will a bit more visual. In the picture, and a tooltip will be outside of standard dimensions. 

 <Window x:Class="WPFControls.Tooltip"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

                        </TextBlock>
                    </StackPanel>
                    <StackPanel Width="200" Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" >
                        <TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" 
				Foreground="#FFF9F4F4" TextAlignment="Center" Background="{x:Null}"

                          <Run FontFamily="Verdana" FontSize="11" FontWeight="Normal" Foreground="#FF151514" 
                               Text="Windows Presentation Foundation with building
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; ">				</span>perfect rich client application."/>
                        </TextBlock>
                    </StackPanel>
                </StackPanel>
            </Button.ToolTip>
        </Button>
    </StackPanel>
</Window> 

After we process the following screen will be. 


WPF a very simple way in using the power we have created a very slick Tooltip. We increased these examples according to the imagination and you have the opportunity.
