Can you have an adorner that extends outside of the bounds of the adorned control?

Question

We have a control that displays a small visual but we need to display a large error message. We have the validation template showing up, but it seems to be clipped to the bounds of the adorned control. Any easy way to let the adorned value render itself outside of that?

Answer 1

I've encountered this issue before as well. In my case, I had my control wrapped in a AdornerDecorator, so the Adorner content was clipped to that control. Once I removed the AdornerDecorator, the adorner was able to extend past that control. My answer here (and one of the links I provide there) explain/show this in more detail.
