Create Tooltips and Extended Help for Commands
Tooltips are descriptive messages that are displayed near the cursor when it
hovers over a toolbar or panel button, or menu item.
The Description property associated to a command provides a simple
description for what the command does. The value of the Description property
is displayed as part of a basic tooltip that is displayed when the cursor hovers
over a button on a toolbar, or ribbon panel. Along with the description, a
command tooltip also displays the name of the command, and the values
assigned to the Command Display Name and Tags properties.
Additionally, a command can be assigned an extended help file and ID so it
can display a second level of information for the command. The content from
the extended help file is displayed in the extended description area of a tooltip.
The content for the extended description area of a tooltip is stored in an XAML
file, and can contain rich-text and images.
