XAML Tooltips

Only controls with a TooltipContext property can use Markup for tooltips. The sample below shows a TabControl that uses Markup tooltip, in this case, the second tab's tooltip is being set. Note that EnableMarkup is not needed to enable Markup for the tooltip. The style of the tooltip must be set to xtpToolTipMarkup. To display both a Markup Tooltip and Markup in the caption on the TabControl tabs, both EnableMarkup and xtpToolTipMarkup are required. The xtpToolTipMarkup style is required to display Markup tooltips for the TabControl (or any other TooltipContext enabled control). Note that the sample used images stored in an ImageManager as the image source.

The sample below will use XAML to create a tooltip for a tab button in a TabControl.

Example

This sample shows how to use XAML MarkUp for a ToolTip.
