ToolTip Style ToolTipService.ShowDuration

The Property ToolTipService.ShowDuration is not effected
The other properties are set
How to set ToolTipService.ShowDuration via a Style? 

<Style TargetType="ToolTip">
       <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Segoe UI SemiLight" />
       <Setter Property="ToolTipService.ShowDuration" Value="20000" />
       <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource BrushLightBlue}" />
</Style>

Specifically I am having this problem with a MenuItem

Solution

  • TooltipService.ShowDuration attached property should be set on the element having the ToolTip. For instance:

    <Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
    <Setter Property="ToolTipService.ShowDuration" Value="20000" />
</Style>

    For a MenuItem this should work 

    <Style TargetType="Menu">
    <Style.Resources>
        <Style TargetType="MenuItem">
            <Setter Property="ToolTipService.ShowDuration" Value="20000"/>
        </Style>
    </Style.Resources>
</Style>
