Hi!
I have a picture in WPF. The picture has words on it. I want that when the user hovers over certain words that I choose, a tooltip will appear with something.
How should I do this? Should I draw a rectangle over the words that I want and then access there points through code?
Any other ideas?
Please help.
Thanks a lot!
 
Do you want the tooltip to appear if the cursor is over the general area of the words or exactly in a point for a letter?

If you are just after the general area could you not put a rectangle over the words and put the tooltip on the rectangle?

Click to expand...

I want the tooltip to appear when the cursor is over a certain word.
 
Where does your picture come from? Is it static? (exists as a file somewhere) or is it dynamic? (is generated on the fly)

If it is static, you should be able to load in a few rectangle objects behind the words in the picture and set the tooltip on the rectangle object.

It's static.
So, do you think I should draw rectangles(hidden) on the words I want and then access the points from code?
Could you please tell me how to do this in WPF?
Thanks!
 
Hi!
After adding the rectangle around the word, how can I determine if the mouse is inside the rectangle from code? In WPF of course...
Please help.
Thanks!
