WPF- Changing Tooltip background to Transparent

Question

I am attempting to make it so that when I hover over a button in my application, the "tooltip" displays my wording, along with a transparent background, instead of the white background.

I am merely trying to change the tooltip default settings to a transparent background..

I have looked and looked, but to no success.. anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Answer 1

The class ToolTip has property Background. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/ru-ru/library/system.windows.controls.tooltip_members.aspx. You can set Background to Transparent.

Answer 2

<Style x:Key="{x:Type ToolTip}"
       TargetType="{x:Type ToolTip}">
    <Setter Property="Background"
            Value="Transparent" />
</Style>

Place this in the resource dictionary of your view, or for your application.
