WPF ToolTip Style with dynamic LayoutTransform
- by NoOne
I have an app that scales it's UI and I want to scale the ToolTips with it.
I have tried doing this:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ToolTip}">
<Setter Property="LayoutTransform" Value="{DynamicResource scaleTransf}"/>
...
</Style>
...where scaleTransf is a resource that I change via code:
Application.Current.Resources["scaleTransf"] = new ScaleTransform(...);
Most of the ToolTips do get scaled in size but some of them that are created by C# code don't get scaled. I've checked and it seems that I don't set their Style or LayoutTransform by code, so I don't really understand what is going wrong... Moreover, I have the impression that the above XAML code worked fine a few days ago. :(
Is there sth I can do to make it work all the time without setting the LayoutTransform in code-behind?
EDIT : The ToolTips that don't change scale are the ones that have become visible before.
EDIT2 : Extra code:
<ScaleTransform x:Key="scaleTransf" ScaleX="1" ScaleY="1"/>
I have also tried this:
Application.Current.Resources.Remove("scaleTransf");
Application.Current.Resources.Add("scaleTransf", new ScaleTransform(val, val));
EDIT3 : My attempt to solve this using a DependencyProperty:
In MainWindow.xaml.cs :
public static readonly DependencyProperty TransformToApplyProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("TransformToApply", typeof(Transform), typeof(MainWindow));
public Transform TransformToApply
{
get { return (Transform)this.GetValue(TransformToApplyProperty); }
}
Somewhere in MainWindow, in response to a user input:
this.SetValue(TransformToApplyProperty, new ScaleTransform(val, val));
XAML Style:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ToolTip}">
<Setter Property="LayoutTransform" Value="{Binding TransformToApply, ElementName=MainWindow}"/>
...
Using this code, not a single one of the ToolTips seem to scale accordingly.
