Have a look at ToolTips in WPF[^]

How to show ToolTips on disabled controls

When you disable a control with IsEnabled=False the tool tip does not show any more. If you want to have the tool tip appear anyway you have to set the attached property ToolTipService.ShowOnDisabled to True.

HTML
<button isenabled="False">
        ToolTip="Saves the current document"
        ToolTipService.ShowOnDisabled="True"
        Content="Save">
</button>

Solution 1

AFAIK you can't - tooltips never show unless the associated control can be changed by the user.
