I want to create a tooltip like Word 2007 shows when you select text.
http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/9809/floatiefq4.gif

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.

It is a toolbar that is shown when you hover over it. This is very different! The tooltip is designed not to stand in your way: means if you move your mouse over it it's gone because you probably want to click something behind it...

<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>
