Creating reports and dashboards | Stimulsoft community forum

I have a WPF application in which Stimulsoft based reports are viewed in the Stimulsoft viewer control. We have it so that it shows just a toolbar and not a ribbon. However, the tooltips are not appearing when hovering over any of the toolbar icons. A small tooltip box appears but there is no text in it. Any suggestions on where I should investigate?

We couldn't reproduce your issue.
Which version do you use?
Could you send us a sample project which reproduces the issue.

Thank you.

I think I found the problem although I am still trying to work on solution. My application has a style that I guess replaces the normal tooltip style. When I tool this style out and re-built the application, then the tooltip appears. Here is our style that was used if it provides any guidance (which I have commented out). All I can think of is that the Stimulsoft tooltips appear to be Rich Text or equivalent since I see combination of bold and normal in the tooltip. I am guessing this style we are using expects plain text (TextBlock???).

Hello.

You could change tooltip style with this style. But it seems that you'd got a style conflict. To avoid it try to set the style name and specify this name in the style property of all tooltips.

Thank you.
