  • Description

  • HelpText
  • ImageSource

 Get or set the ScreenTip description.

Get or set the image for HelpIcon.

HelpText:

Get or set the Text for ScreenTip.

ImageSource:

Content:

Using the above property, we can set the tooltip in different sections.

The following is an example that shows how the ScreenTip used as a ToolTip for the ButtonAdv control. Please find the following code example below:

XAML:
