Word 2007-like tooltip (C# WPF)

Hello,

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.

I want a semantically-appropriate way of providing a tooltip or similar mechanism when a user hovers over a particular cell in a table. Specifically, I have an intranet application that enables users to find out about tooling equipment, and when they hover over the Board No cell, I want the location of that board to be displayed in a tooltip or similar. I think using an ABBR or ACRONYM tag would achieve what I want, but it's not really...

Here I am learning WinForms and two months into it I learn there's a WPF API that is coming out. Is this WPF out yet, and is it a threat to WinForms, in the sense that all the library routines I memorize and/ or familiarize myself in WinForms will disappear in WPF? I did note in one early version of C#, the non-generic "ArrayList" was replaced by the generic and template <based List, but that kind of change is not a big deal. If WPF...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
