SetMapTipHorizontalOffset

Question

I am trying to change the MapTip horizontal and vertical offsets in code. The maptip is defined in XAML off of a FeatureLayer the like this: Feature layer XAML followed by: ...more XAML and then Everything works fine, including the mouse events on the featurelayer and the size changed on the grid. Can't figure the mapoffsets though. Thanks for your help. Keith.

This is what I came up with for a simple way to move my maptips.

Private Sub CIP_MouseEnter(sender As System.Object, e As ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.GraphicMouseEventArgs) Handles CIP.MouseEnter
        mypoint = e.GetPosition(CType(myMap, System.Windows.UIElement))
    End Sub

Private Sub CIP_MouseLeave(sender As System.Object, e As ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.GraphicMouseEventArgs)

End Sub

Private Sub MapTip_SizeChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.SizeChangedEventArgs) Handles MapTipGrid.SizeChanged ' TextBlock2.SizeChanged
        Dim voffset, hoffset As Double ' vertical and horizontal offsets
        Dim CIPLayer As GraphicsLayer = CType(myMap.Layers("Capital Improvements"), GraphicsLayer) ' The graphicslayer in question
        If (myMap.ActualWidth - mypoint.X < e.NewSize.Width) Then  'if the point is withing maptip width of the edge, flip it to the other side by
            hoffset = -1 * (e.NewSize.Width + 10)                   'moving it the maptipwidth + 10 offest
        Else
            hoffset = 5
        End If

If (myMap.ActualHeight - mypoint.Y < e.NewSize.Height) Then
            voffset = -1 * (e.NewSize.Height + 10)
        Else
            voffset = 5
        End If
        CIPLayer.MapTip.SetValue(GraphicsLayer.MapTipHorizontalOffsetProperty, hoffset)
        CIPLayer.MapTip.SetValue(GraphicsLayer.MapTipVerticalOffsetProperty, voffset)
    End Sub

It definitely works but if someone knows of a reason not to do it this way I am all ears or I suppose eyes in this case.
