Windows.UI.Xaml.UIElement.KeyboardAcceleratorPlacementTarget

-description

Gets or sets a value that indicates the control tooltip that displays the accelerator key combination.

-property-value

The control tooltip that displays the accelerator key combination.

-remarks

Use the KeyboardAcceleratorPlacementMode property to specify whether the control tooltip displays the key combination for its associated keyboard accelerator.

-examples

<Grid x:Name="Container">

    <Button Content="Click" 
        ToolTipService.ToolTip="Tooltip"
        ToolTipService.PlacementTarget="{x:Bind Container}" 
        KeyboardAcceleratorPlacementTarget="{x:Bind Container}">
        <Button.KeyboardAccelerators>
            <KeyboardAccelerator Key="S" Modifiers="Control"/>
        </Button.KeyboardAccelerators>
    </Button>

</Grid>

In some cases, you might need to present a tooltip relative to another element (typically a container object). For example, a Pivot control that displays the tooltip for a PivotItem with the Pivot header.

Here, we show how to use the KeyboardAcceleratorPlacementTarget property to display the keyboard accelerator key combination for a Save button with the Grid container instead of the button.

<Grid x:Name="Container">

  <Button Content="Save" Click="OnSave">
    <Button.KeyboardAccelerators>
      <KeyboardAccelerator  Key="S" Modifiers="Control" 
        KeyboardAcceleratorPlacementTarget="{x:Bind Container}"/>
    </Button.KeyboardAccelerators>
  </Button>

</Grid>
