Description

How to show SelectionBox tooltip only when the tooltip has content.

Solution

To achieve the desired result, you can add a DataTrigger to set the Tooltip to null when the corresponding property is an empty string. For example, you can define the SelectionBoxTemplate as follows:

XAML

	<DataTemplate x:Key="SelectionBoxTemplate">
		<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}">
			<TextBlock.Style>
				<Style TargetType="TextBlock">
					<Setter Property="ToolTip" Value="{Binding Tooltip}" />
					<Style.Triggers>
						<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Tooltip}" Value="">
							<Setter Property="ToolTip" Value="{x:Null}" />
						</DataTrigger>
					</Style.Triggers>
				</Style>
			</TextBlock.Style>                    
		</TextBlock>
	</DataTemplate>
