How to Show a Tooltip on a WPF Control When it is Disabled

By Michael Detras

By default, tooltips are not shown when a control is disabled. This can be changed by using ToolTipService.

Use the ShowOnDisabled attached property of the ToolTipService.

<TextBox
    ToolTip="Show Me When Disabled"
     IsEnabled="False"
    ToolTipService.ShowOnDisabled="True"/>
