Silverlight Set Custom Tool Tip Programmatically

Silverlight Set Custom Tool Tip Programmatically

I have created the following custom tooltip with the custom template.

<ToolTip x:Class="FireFly.Controls.CustomToolTip" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="400"> <ToolTip.Style>     <Style TargetType="ToolTip">         <Setter Property="Template">             <Setter.Value>                 <ControlTemplate TargetType="ToolTip">                     <Border>                         <Border.Background>                             <RadialGradientBrush>                                 <GradientStop Color="WhiteSmoke"/>                                 <GradientStop Color="#FFE0E0E0" Offset="1"/>                             </RadialGradientBrush>                         </Border.Background>                         <ContentPresenter Content="{TemplateBinding Content}"                                 ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}"                                 Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"                                  VerticalAlignment="Center"/>                     </Border>                 </ControlTemplate>             </Setter.Value>         </Setter>     </Style> </ToolTip.Style>     

What i need to do is, from within a behvior i need to set the tooltip of the assosciated object to an instance of my custom tool tip control.

Something like

toolTip = new CustomToolTip() {Content = new TextBlock() {Text = text, FontSize = 12}}; 

However this isn't working.

Could someone possibly point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Steve
