Ribbon tooltip is an enhanced tooltip that supports four predefined content: header, body, image and footer. You can set the ribbon tooltip by specifying the UXRibbonToolTipService attached property on the desired controls. In addition to the ribbon-aware controls, the ribbon tooltip can also be set on any other controls that derive from Control class. When specified on ribbon-aware controls which are contained in a tab group, the tooltip will be automatically positioned under the ribbon.

The following list describes the properties that you can customize in the ribbon tooltip.

The following example shows how to configure the ribbon tooltip.
