This example shows how to create and use a Style for a ToolTip control.
Example
The following example defines a style called Simple that offsets the placement of a ToolTip and changes its appearance by setting the background, foreground, font size, and font weight.
<Style x:Key="Simple" TargetType="{x:Type ToolTip}">
<Setter Property = "HorizontalOffset" Value="50"/>
<Setter Property = "VerticalOffset" Value="50"/>
<Setter Property = "Background" Value="LightBlue"/>
<Setter Property = "Foreground" Value="Purple"/>
<Setter Property = "FontSize" Value="20"/>
<Setter Property = "FontWeight" Value="Bold"/>
</Style>

<TextBox HorizontalAlignment="Left">TextBox with ToolTip
<TextBox.ToolTip>
<ToolTip Style="{StaticResource Simple}">
<TextBlock>useful information goes here</TextBlock>
</ToolTip>
</TextBox.ToolTip>
</TextBox>
