Set RadToolTipService properties globally

[Wetzorke]

Hello,

as mentioned in the title, I would like to set some of RadToolTipServices' properties globally. I tried to set them as follows:

<Style x:Key="RadToolTipStyle" TargetType="telerik:RadToolTip">
    <Setter Property="Placement" Value="Top"/>
    <Setter Property="HorizontalOffset" Value="10"/>
    <Setter Property="VerticalOffset" Value="10"/>
    ...
</Style>
<Style TargetType="telerik:RadToolTip" BasedOn="{StaticResource RadToolTipStyle}"/>

but this had no effect on the positioning. Do I have to set those properties elsewhere or is this a bug?
Currently, I got the desired result by adjusting the margin in the template.

Best regards

Hi Bernd,

Thank you for your interest in RadToolTip control.

The implicit style is not working because the properties of the RadToolTip are for per control not for per RadToolTip. That means that setting in style will not work. To change the Placement, HorizontalOffset,  etc. properties globally you can either set the attached properties to every control in your application or override their default value using OverrideMetadata() method. Check the following code snippet.

static MainWindow()
{
    RadToolTipService.PlacementProperty.OverrideMetadata(typeof(FrameworkElement), new PropertyMetadata(System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.PlacementMode.Top));
}
