Silverlight Tooltips



When I layout a new Silverlight canvas, there''s a couple things I do to make that job a bit easier. I thought I''d share those, and possible they will benefit someone else as well :)



The best way of figuring out a good tooltip is one that either saves me a bunch of time or comes to light after I waste a bunch of time trying to figure out what simple thing I'm missing. This one falls in the latter category :(



I''ve gotten some email about install issues. The forum is a great place to figure those out, but I've aggregated a few of the more popular links there for figuring out how to get Silverlight installed on your system



The Visibility/Opacity question seems to come up a lot, and they can be used somewhat interchangeablly if you are aware of the subtle differences in their use



A suggestion for tooltip canvas handling to help ease the pain of continually manipulating values, or dealing with visibility issues.



A possibly obvious, but nevertheless useful method of retaining the mainCanvas object at canvas load time resolves two possible needs for it later.



This is the first of a series of more light-weight single-point articles I'm calling Silverlight Tooltips. This first one addresses the StrokeThickness 1 situation discussed previously here and in the forum
