How to convert this code-based WPF tooltip to Silverlight?

c#, silverlight, tooltip

Solution

Tooltips are added to Silverlight controls using an attached property provided by the ToolTipService. There is no `SetInitialShowDelay` in Silverlight's version nor is there a `Help` cursor on the `Cursors` type.

    void AddCustomer(string name)
    {
        TextBlock tb = new TextBlock();
        tb.Text = name;
        ToolTip tt = new ToolTip();
        tt.Content = "This is some info on " + name + ".";
        ToolTipService.SetToolTip(tb, tt);

        MainStackPanel.Children.Add(tb);
    }

Problem

The following ToolTip code works in WPF. I'm trying to get it to work in Silverlight. But it gives me these errors: ``` TextBlock does not contain a definition for ToolTip. Cursors does not contain a definition for Help. ToolTipService does not contain a definition for SetInitialShowDelay. ``` How can I get this to work in Silverlight? ``` using System.Windows; using System.Windows.Controls; using System.Windows.Input; using System.Windows.Media; namespace TestHover29282 { public partial class Window1 : Window { public Window1() { InitializeComponent(); AddCustomer("Jim Smith"); AddCustomer("Joe Jones"); AddCustomer("Angie Jones"); AddCustomer("Josh Smith"); } void AddCustomer(string name) { TextBlock tb = new TextBlock(); tb.Text = name; ToolTip tt = new ToolTip(); tt.Content = "This is some info on " + name + "."; tb.ToolTip = tt; tt.Cursor = Cursors.Help; ToolTipService.SetInitialShowDelay(tb, 0); MainStackPanel.Children.Add(tb); } } } ```
