ToolTip with multi-line

Question

 

Hi,

How do I make a multi-line tooltip ?

I tried to set the ToolTip property of a control to:

 

ToolTip="AAA\r\nBBB"

 

but it does not work.

Answer 1

Just set something more practical as a tooltip (it takes an object, UIElements are rendered, all others are displayed as ToString)

Code Snippet

 

<Button Content="Hello">

  <Button.ToolTip>

    <TextBlock> 

      Line1<LineBreak/>

     Line2

  </TextBlock>

</Button.ToolTip>

</Button>

 

 

 

Answer 2

Thanks.

But now I have another problem:
I need to recieve the tootip text from code.

I tried to do:

 

Code Snippet

<Button Content="Hello">

  <Button.ToolTip>

    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=ToolTipText, ElementName=window, Mode=Default}"/>

  </Button.ToolTip>

</Button>

 

 

But the binding does not work

(I also tried to use Label instead of TextBlock)

Answer 3

Hi.. I had that problem. Ended seeing the "\n" written into the tooltips.

Solved by doing this to the string I passed to the tooltip:

 

Code Snippet

ToolTip = MyString.Replace("\\n","\n");

 

Answer 4

You can try the following example, which works well. Futhermore, we should use System.Environment.NewLine property to add new line in a string.

 

Code Snippet

<Window

   x:Class="ForumProjects.MainWindow"

   xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

   xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

   Title="MainWindow" Width="800" Height="600">

    <StackPanel>

        <TextBox x:Name="TB" AcceptsReturn="True" Text="{Binding WindowText, ElementName=Window, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"/>

        <Button ToolTip="{Binding WindowText, ElementName=Window, Mode=OneWay}">Test</Button>

    </StackPanel>

</Window>

 

namespace ForumProjects

{

    public partial class MainWindow : Window

    {

        public MainWindow()

        {

            InitializeComponent();

        }

 

        public string WindowText

        {

            get { return (string)GetValue(WindowTextProperty); }

            set { SetValue(WindowTextProperty, value); }

        }

        public static readonly DependencyProperty WindowTextProperty =

            DependencyProperty.Register("WindowText", typeof(string), typeof(MainWindow), new FrameworkPropertyMetadata());

    }

}

Hi,

I tried all ... <LineBreak/>.. \n , \\n... etc..
only environment.newline worked for me...

I have used a string table to keep all my tool tip in my system...
few of the tool tips are long and need multi-line support..
 from c# i used this...

myelement.ToolTip = MyStringTable.SOME_CELL_TOOLTIP.Replace("<LineBreak/>",Environment.NewLine);

 

Regards

Hi,

I had this issue as well, and wanted to do everything XAML.  This is what worked for me:

ToolTip="Line 1&#xa;Line 2&#xa;Line 3&#xa;Line 4"

The tooltip then reads:

Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4

Hope this helps!
