The ToolTip class contains a lot of built-in functionality that you would have to work around to meet your needs. However, you can simply use a Popup and then you have full control over when your tip is displayed (via the IsOpen property).

Use an IsMouseOver trigger to apply a ScaleTransform to the RenderTransform property of the container. You will want to set the RenderTransformOrigin to 0.5,0.5 on the container. If you have any trouble implementing this, drop me an email and I'll put together a sample. Hi Paras, You can achieve that effect by using a custom container template for your ItemsControl.

I need your help again! I need to mimic the functionality of what you see <a href="http://zapersoft.com/work/flash.html" target="_blank">here<a>. This is in flash done by a designer, but I need to do the same in a WPF application. Please note that instead of showing a tooltip or a popup, the item itself is springing-up and increasing in size - is there any way to do this? You may post this as a separate thread if you think this is quite different from my previous question. Thanks again, Paras Dr. WPF, Thanks for your help. I need your help again!

This will save you from having to manage the Window. The Placement and offset properties would work exactly the same as in the above sample.

In this example if I move over the tooltip from the actual image in the grid, the tooltip disappears. I even made the tooltip display over the current image but still the tooltip disappeared as soon as my mouse went out of the bounds of the image even though it was still on the tooltip. I wanted the popup/tooltip to display while I am hovered over that and show another image in the popup/tooltip when I hover over it. So I ended up achieving what I needed using another window and assigning it the image I want to show and then making that window a child of the current window and positioning it where I want.
