Clickable tooltip
-
I am making a custom tooltip control, (derived ftom tooltip), and wondering if there is some simple way to make the tip clickable, (url and close button). I have managed to 'fake' it, using mouse capture and previewmousemove, but wondering if there was an easier way? Thanks, j

If only it were that easy.. I have tried deriving the control from other elements, but if you use the tooltip in a standard way, (as below), it does not work correctly. I have managed to get this working using capture and manipulating mouse input, good enough for now unless another solution becomes available.. thanks
<Button.ToolTip> <vht:vhToolTip HasDropShadow="True" Opacity="0.9" Header="Test Header: Tip 3" Hyperlink="http://www.the-noc.net" Text="this is just a bunch of tooltip text" ImageSource="/Images/13.ico" HasCloseButton="True" HyperlinkClicked="vhToolTip\_HyperlinkClicked"/> </Button.ToolTip> </Button> -

Hey Pete, Do you mean scrap the custom control all together?

Not quite - I mean show your control in the AdornerLayer in place of showing the ToolTip.
