How to display tooltip for a disabled Listbox items.

[Chocks]

Hi,

I am having a listbox, which will disable and enable at runtime, I need to get the tooltip to be displayed for the listbox items, even when it is disabled. Currently tooltip is working only when the listbox is enabled. 

 ListBox x:Name="lstEpisod" ItemsSource="{Binding ScopeDetails,Mode=TwoWay}" Height="115" Width="212" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Hidden" Background="#FFF3F3F3" ItemTemplate="{StaticResource EpisodeEncounterTemplate}" Margin="0,5,0,2" TabIndex="0" HorizontalAlignment="Left"> 
<ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
<Style TargetType="ListBoxItem"> 
 <Setter Property="Padding" Value="0" /> 
 <Setter Property="Margin" Value="0"/> 
 <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0"/> 
 <Setter Property="Background" Value="#FFF3F3F3"/> 
 <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black"/> 
</Style>
<!--<Setter Property="ToolTipService.ToolTip" Value="{Binding Text, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"/>--> 
</ListBox.ItemContainerStyle> 
</ListBox>

 
Thanks for any support.

Hello Kevin,

In order to visualize the ToolTip when the items are disabled you need to set the ShowOnDisabled property of the ToolTipService class to "True". Please, check the attached sample project that demonstrates that approach and let us know if it worked for you. 

Please, notice the proposed approach only works for WPF.

Hopes this helps.
