@MartinZikmund when is it gonna be available or is it already in any 3.7dev pkg ?

[MartinZikmund]

Unfortunately not yet. While the code is ported, it will require quite a few Uno-specific adjustments to properly show up. I'm hoping this can be finished for 3.8

[MartinZikmund]

This control is highly dependent on Popup, so it is quite tricky to get it working currently, until we rewrite popups significantly

[sigmarsson]

@MartinZikmund , okay it isn't very essential control, so we can either substitute or wait if you could estimate a version number please.

[MartinZikmund]

Quite hard to say... 3.9 is unlikely, possibly 3.10, but probably will take a while to make it work just right on all platforms

@MartinZikmund appears latest UNO 4.X compiles TeachingTip fine with .NET 6 + WindowsAppSdk. Does this means it's supported now?

If not, shouldn't I get warning?
There is none - in fact I don't get any 'not supported' warning in my project at all ... which I find surprising given the many warning I got with UNO 3.X

[FrozDark]

Is it ready to be implemented?

[MartinZikmund]

I will be rebasing this and checking the state of the control now that we have Popup placement support.

@MartinZikmund thanks. I actually replaced the TeachingTip as while back by some custom code. Nevertheless, it's definitely great to have it supported.

Popup placement support.

This rang a bell: I'm desperately waiting to get support for the shadow effect on Flyouts, since they look plain and horrible on WASM. Is there any chance now with the above mentioned 'popup' support.

Shadows are a bit tricky, as they interfere with clipping on some targets. Hence to add elevation to popups, we will probably need to wrap them in elevated view. But it is definitely something we want to take care of soon. Will create an issue specifically for this

Thanks @MartinZikmund

I saw that you guys made progress on ElevatedView. Looking forward to see this becoming real

Any news on how the implementation is progressing ? :D

[ACheekyBeluga]

😮 how soon can we expect this to be released ?
