Pinnable ToolTip

[Sonia]

Hi!

I am new to WPF and I am trying to add a pinnable tooltip to my project.  Unfortunately I don't know how to do this.  If you could provide guidance or point me to some examples that would be great.  I am using visual studio 2010.

Thanks,

Sonia

Hi Sonia,

Would you please, throw some more light upon the behaviour, that you expect from a "pinnable" tooltip. In general, you can achieve a wide range of customization using the ToolTip control and the ToolTipService attached propery, so please share with us your expectations, in order to ease us helping you.

Hi!

Thanks for your reply.  Actually it is not quite clear to me as well what to ask since I am very new to WPF.  What I am trying to get is a tool tip that pops up when my mouse goes over a particular object.  I want the user to have the option of docking the tip for later use.

I also want to have the tool tip displayed till the mouse stays on the object or the user docks it.

Cheers,

Sonia

Hi Sonia,

Unfortunately we haven't any controls that implement such a functionality. The only thing you can achieve with the standard ToolTip control is to position it, by setting the desired offset and set delay time, but this is by no means a real docking, because the delay can't be unlimited. I couldn't really make out, what do you mean by "for later use" - the ToolTip itself, or its content? If your ToolTips contain text only, you may try "extracting" it as a string by using:
 ToolTipService.GetToolTip(DependencyObject object).ToString();
