Disable Tooltip Timeout on

[Daniel]

I have an information layer with tooltips over shapes like so:

<telerik:InformationLayer.Reader>
                  <telerik:MapShapeReader Source="{Binding Source={StaticResource DataContext}, Path=StateShapefileSourceUri}"
                                          ReadCompleted="StateLayerReaderReadCompleted">
                      <telerik:MapShapeReader.ToolTipTemplate>
                          <DataTemplate>
                              <telerik:RadChart
                                  Tag="{Binding Converter={StaticResource ExtendedDataConverter}, ConverterParameter='STATE_NAME'}"
                                  x:Name="drillDownChartState" Height="200" Width="350"  Loaded="drillDownChart_Loaded" >
                              </telerik:RadChart>
                          </DataTemplate>
                      </telerik:MapShapeReader.ToolTipTemplate>
                  </telerik:MapShapeReader>
              </telerik:InformationLayer.Reader>

I want to disable the tooltip timeout entirely, so tooltips are visible until the mouse leaves the shape -- they never disappear as the result of a timout. How do I do this?

Hello Daniel,

You shouldn't use tooltip service if you want to show some additional content during unpredictable time. In this case you should show additional framework element on some user mouse input. For example, you can show content control when mouse enters to the map shape and remove it when mouse leave map shape:
