Specifying a different path for Ribbon CUIX Extended Help Tooltips using XAML

by Fenton Webb

It’s possible to supply your own XAML Tooltips by supplying a loose WPF XAML file as the ContentSource

e.g.

<Header>
  <FileReferences>
    <ToolTipFileReferences>
      <ContentSources>
        <ContentSource>toolTips.xaml</ContentSource>
      </ContentSources>
    </ToolTipFileReferences>
  </FileReferences>
</Header>

The ContentSource is actually a Uri which means you can use the Uri pack format to specify different paths or even XAML files packaged into your own resource DLLs…

e.g. a DLL Resource locator

<Header>
  <FileReferences>
    <ToolTipFileReferences>
      <ContentSources>
        <ContentSource>pack://application:,,,/MyApplicationDLL;resources/Tooltip.xaml</ContentSource>

      </ContentSources>
    </ToolTipFileReferences>
  </FileReferences>
</Header>
