I have an WPF speech bubble tooltip which is working fine.
<Style x:Key="{x:Type ToolTip}" TargetType="ToolTip">
<Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="true" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalOffset" Value="1" />
<Setter Property="VerticalOffset" Value="1" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="White" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black" />
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="12" />
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Segoe UI" />
<Setter Property="DataContext" Value="{Binding Path=PlacementTarget.DataContext, RelativeSource={x:Static RelativeSource.Self}}"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="ToolTip">
<Canvas Width="225" Height="131">
<Path x:Name="Container"
Canvas.Left="0"
Canvas.Top="0"
Margin="0"
Data="M8,7.41 L15.415,0 L22.83,7.41 L224,7.41 L224,130 L0,130 L0,7.41 L8,7.41"
Fill="{TemplateBinding Background}"
Stroke="Gray">
<Path.Effect>
<DropShadowEffect BlurRadius="10"
Opacity="0.5"
ShadowDepth="4" />
</Path.Effect>
</Path>
<TextBlock Canvas.Left="10"
Canvas.Top="10"
Width="100"
Height="65"
Text="{TemplateBinding Content}"
TextWrapping="WrapWithOverflow" />
</Canvas>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
The problem with above approach is that the arrow/pointer of the speech bubble tooltip (path) is always placed in the same position regardless the situation and I would like it to adapt to the situation and use one of the following (above style implements the arrow placed at the top left, first tooltip in the screenshot below):
How can I do this? Is it possible?

And this is how you use it:
<localdecorators:BubbleTextDecorator PointerHeight="10"
PointerWidth="20"
PointerPosition="LeftSide"
AlignmentPosition="Center"
VerticalMargin="30"
HorizontalMargin="30"
HorizontalAlignment="Left">
<TextBlock Text="this"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
</localdecorators:BubbleTextDecorator>
CodePudding user response：
This is a typical case for creating a Decorator. I once made a customizable ArrowBorder around a Text. You need to inherit from the Decorator class.
internal class ArrowBorderDecorator : Decorator
Then you need some DependencyProperties so that it will be easy to customize.
In my case that was the ArrowTipToArrowTriangleBaseDistance property which means how "pointy" the arrow should be.In your case where should the bubble text arrows should be.
public static readonly DependencyProperty ArrowTipToArrowTriangleBaseDistanceProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("ArrowTipToArrowTriangleBaseDistance", typeof(double), typeof(ArrowBorderDecorator), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(0.0, FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.AffectsMeasure | FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.AffectsRender));
public double ArrowTipToArrowTriangleBaseDistance
{
get { return (double)GetValue(ArrowTipToArrowTriangleBaseDistanceProperty); }
set { SetValue(ArrowTipToArrowTriangleBaseDistanceProperty, value); }
}
Then you need to override the ArrangeOverride, MeasureOverride and the OnRender methods. The first two comes from the Decorator class and the third is from the UIElement class.
Here is a nice
