Changing the template

[Alex]

Hello.

How can I change the template of the RadToolTip to customize its look? I want to use a simple rectangle as a tooltip instead of the polygonal shape which is by default.

Thanks.

Thanks. I read this article and it didn't help me. It describes how to change data template but I want to change the form of tooltip. For this I need to get template (style) of the control in Expression Blend. But I can't because there is no way how RadToolTip can be manipulated in Blend.

Ok. I'm too hastened to reply.

Example of how tooltip can be customized:

<Rectangle Width="100" Height="100" Fill="White" 

telerikPrimitives:RadToolTipService.ToolTip="This is a rectangle.">

    <telerikPrimitives:RadToolTipService.Style>

        <Style TargetType="telerikPrimitives:RadToolTip">

            <Setter Property="Template">

                <Setter.Value>

                    <ControlTemplate TargetType="telerikPrimitives:RadToolTip">

                        <Grid>

                            <Rectangle Fill="{StaticResource PhoneAccentBrush}" />

                            <ContentControl Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" Template="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}" />

                        </Grid>

                    </ControlTemplate>

                </Setter.Value>

            </Setter>

        </Style>

    </telerikPrimitives:RadToolTipService.Style>

</Rectangle>
