How to create Tooltips like MS Office 2007/2010 in WPF

Question

How can I create complex ToolTips for my WPF RibbonItems like I have seen in MS-Office 2007/2010. A Sample image is given below.

On MSDN I got an image just like that but MSDN does not tell us how we can create it.

If anyone can help me in making Tooltip like MS Office I will appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

As you can see in the documentation there are several properties on a RibbonButton that refer to parts of the enhanced tooltip:

• ToolTipDescription
• ToolTipFooterDescription
• ToolTipFooterImageSource
• ToolTipFooterTitle
• ToolTipImageSource
• ToolTipTitle

Come to think of it, those are the exact properties mentioned in the screenshot you have there.

Answer 2

You can download Ribbon Sample code.
