# Q: How do I get a ToolTip to appear when hovering over a disabled element?

use the ShowOnDisabled attached property of theToolTipService class! From

XAML, this would look like the following on a Button:

<Button **ToolTipService.ShowOnDisabled**=”**True**”>

</Button>

Or from C# code, you can call the static methodcorresponding to the attached property:

ToolTipService.SetShowOnDisabled(myButton, true);
