I need to create a rectangle bubble with rounded corners with text inside, like a cartoon speech bubble. I need the bubble to expand horizontally and vertically depending on the size of the text it contain. I would like the speech arrow and the radius of the rounded corners to remain constant.

I could simply use a path to create my bubble, but I can’t resize the bubble and keep the corners radius and arrow constant… it’s the whole path that will be resized.

I’d appreciate that some one could point me in the right direction.

Here is the final version of the cartoon bubble user-control. I’ve added a rectangle without a stroke to Jobi Joy’s version to hide the end of path lines, instead of trying to make then appear flush with the rectangle.

<Grid>     <Grid.RowDefinitions>         <RowDefinition Height='*'/>         <RowDefinition Height='40'/>     </Grid.RowDefinitions>     <Rectangle Fill='#FF686868' Stroke='#FF000000' RadiusX='10' RadiusY='10'/>     <Path Fill='#FF686868' Stretch='Fill' Stroke='#FF000000' HorizontalAlignment='Left' Margin='30,-5.597,0,-0.003' Width='25' Grid.Row='1' Data='M22.166642,154.45381 L29.999666,187.66699 40.791059,154.54395'/>                       <Rectangle Fill='#FF686868' RadiusX='10' RadiusY='10' Margin='1'/>     <TextBlock HorizontalAlignment='Center' VerticalAlignment='Center' FontSize='25' Text='Hello World' TextWrapping='Wrap'/>                        </Grid>

  1. Use this XAML, You can create a PopUp or a ContentControl and can give this Grid as the control template on it to get a consistent look

    <Grid x:Name='grid'>     <Grid.RowDefinitions>         <RowDefinition Height='*'/>         <RowDefinition Height='40'/>     </Grid.RowDefinitions>     <Rectangle Fill='#FF686868' Stroke='#FF000000' RadiusX='10' RadiusY='10'/>     <Path Fill='#FF686868' Stretch='Fill' Stroke='#FF000000' HorizontalAlignment='Left' Margin='30,-1.6,0,0' Width='25' Grid.Row='1'          Data='M22.166642,154.45381 L29.999666,187.66699 40.791059,154.54395'/>               <TextBlock HorizontalAlignment='Center' VerticalAlignment='Center' FontSize='25' Text='Hello World' TextWrapping='Wrap'/>            </Grid>
