Keeping tooltip open WPF C#

Hello all,

I want to create a tooltip like Word 2007 shows when you select text.

I have no problem with putting buttons etc in the tooltip but the tooltip closes when I navigate with my mouse to over the tooltip before I can click any buttons.
How can I keep the tooltip open when I am hovering over it?

Thanks in advance.

Try using the popup control instead of the tooltip.  It'll let you control when the menu is displayed.  You could use an event trigger to open the popup, and have the popup close automatically when the user clicks outside of the popup.

ToolTip is hosted inside a Popup which in turn is rendered in a separate HwndSource, you should be able to mimic the ToolTip behaviour using Poup, and set its StaysOpen property to true as the following XAML illustrates:

<Page xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
      xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
    <Button Width="120" Height="30" Name="btn">    
            <Popup IsOpen="True" StaysOpen="True" PlacementTarget="{Binding ElementName=btn}" Placement="Bottom">
                <Button Width="120" Height="30" Content="Button In ToolTip"/>
            </Popup>
    </Button>
</Page>

Thanks! I got it to work with the Popup class.
