Windows requirements

Device family	Windows 10, version 1809 (introduced in 10.0.17763.0)
API contract	Windows.Foundation.UniversalApiContract (introduced in v7.0)

Remarks

PlacementRect anchors the tooltip's position and also serves as an area that the opened tooltip will not occlude, provided there's sufficient space to draw tooltip outside this area. You can specify the origin of the rectangle relative to the tooltip's owner, and the height and width of the exclusion area. The Placement property will define if tooltip should draw above, below, left, or right of the PlacementRect.
