Tooltip

Tooltips display additional information when the user hovers a visual.

Tooltip

Basic usage

Wrap a visual with a tooltip using the Tooltip(...) extension method:

new Button("Delete")
    .Tooltip("Permanently deletes the item");

The tooltip content is a Visual, so you can use Markup or any other control:

new Button("Delete")
    .Tooltip(new Markup("[red]Permanently deletes the item[/]"));

Tooltip(...) returns a TooltipHost, allowing you to configure behavior:

new Button("More info")
    .Tooltip("Shown above after 250ms")
    .ShowDelayMilliseconds(250)
    .Placement(PopupPlacement.Above);

Tooltips are implemented as a non-interactive overlay in fullscreen apps.

Tooltips rely on mouse hover events. In inline/live hosting, hover may not be available depending on the terminal and host configuration.

Default alignment: HorizontalAlignment = Align.Start, VerticalAlignment = Align.Start
