How can I achieve an overlay, similar to the one you can see in the picture linked below, using C# and WPF?

EA Origin overlay example

Thanks in advance

  • Isn't that just a window shown when you mouse over? Capture on mouse enter/leave of where you want it to spawn from and show/hide the window on event. – JeremyK Feb 04 '12 at 16:37
  • I don't exactly know if it's just a new window, I'd like it to be transparent where the control beneath is. – Sebastian Krogull Feb 05 '12 at 15:45

Try looking at the Popup Class. Your other option would be to create a custom UserControl.

After reading your comment you may want to look at this SO answer it discusses using CombinedGeometry's to create something like you are looking for.

If you want to set a window to transparent just do either of the following: Window.Background="Transparent", or Opacity="0". As far as how it pops up, either handle mouse enter yourself or set it up as a popup

  • In your window code, this.Opacity = value; // 0.0 - 1.0 (double) this.Background = Brushes.Transparent; – JeremyK Feb 09 '12 at 17:21
