Is it possible to have a custom shaped screen tip?
I have created a custom screen tip class, set the Shape property of the element to be a shape and it appears to work visually but it's leaving a grey background in the spots where I want it to be transparent. See attached.
I have also tried doing the same but with an image, making the background of the image transparent, but the same thing happens.
Thanks.

Hello Daniel,
Please refer to the following code snippet in order to avoid that gray rectangle behind the custom shape of the screen tip:
public RadForm1()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.radButton1.ScreenTipNeeded += this.NewRadButton1_ScreenTipNeeded;
}
private void NewRadButton1_ScreenTipNeeded(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.ScreenTipNeededEventArgs e)
{
PropertyInfo barProperty = ((ComponentBehavior)this.radButton1.Behavior).GetType().GetProperty("ScreenPresenter",
BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
Form screenTipForm = barProperty.GetValue(((ComponentBehavior)this.radButton1.Behavior), null) as Form;
screenTipForm.BackColor = this.BackColor;
screenTipForm.TransparencyKey = this.BackColor;
IntPtr hWnd = screenTipForm.Handle;
int GCL_STYLE = -26;
int ClassLong = NativeMethods.GetClassLongPtr(new HandleRef(null, hWnd), GCL_STYLE).ToInt32();
if ((ClassLong & NativeMethods.CS_DROPSHADOW) != 0)
{
ClassLong ^= NativeMethods.CS_DROPSHADOW;
NativeMethods.SetClassLong(new HandleRef(null, hWnd), GCL_STYLE, (IntPtr)ClassLong);
}
}I hope this helps. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.
