Disabled controls no longer support ToolTip

11-25-2008 10:19 AM |

As the subject states, controls whose IsEnabled property is set to false do not respond to configured ToolTip invocation. This worked in Beta2, and we need this feature as a way to inform a user why a control is disabled.

Sample chunk:

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
		<Button Height="38" Margin="258,0,220,156" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Content="Button" IsEnabled="False" ToolTipService.ToolTip="Test tooltip"/>
		<ListBox Height="111" Margin="258,111,205,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" IsEnabled="False" ToolTipService.ToolTip="TestToolTip">
			<TextBlock Text="Testing 123"/>
		</ListBox>
</Grid>

Please fix!
Thanks!

Thanks for the report. Having the ToolTip not show on a disabled element is by design, and compatible with WPF. We realize that Silverlight lacks other means to provide ToolTips on disabled items (such as ToolTipService.ShowOnDisabled), and will be looking into it.

Hi..

I am using SL3 in my project but still don't see ToolTipService.ShowOnDisabled in it. Has this behavior implemented now in SL3 for the ToolTip ?

Seems not... we will have to check for home made workarounds :-(
