Creating Tooltips in Silverlight PRO

The tooltips are represented by the ToolTip content control. We don’t need to add a ToolTip element. We can set an attached property and the Silverlight platform will create the tool tip automatically.

<UserControl x:Class="SilverlightApplication15.MainPage"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    mc:Ignorable="d"
    d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="400">

    <Canvas>
        <Button FontSize="22" 
                ToolTipService.ToolTip="This is a Simple Tooltip" 
                Content="OK"></Button>
    </Canvas>
</UserControl>

The following video clip explains this code sample.

We can easily create a customized tool tip by using the ToolTipService.ToolTip associated property.

<UserControl x:Class="SilverlightApplication15.MainPage"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    mc:Ignorable="d"
    d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="400">

    <Canvas>
        <Button FontSize="22" Content="OK">
            <ToolTipService.ToolTip>
                <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
                    <TextBlock Text="This is The First Text" />
                    <TextBlock Text="This is The Second Text" />
                    <TextBlock Text="This is The Third Text" />
                    <Image Source="mypix.png" />
                </StackPanel>
            </ToolTipService.ToolTip>
        </Button>
    </Canvas>
</UserControl>
