Thanks for that tip: I've been thinking about this problem for a while, and the best I could come up with was setting the DataContext through code.

The same trick should work for binding ContextMenus as well.

Tom,

THANK YOU!!!

I've been trying super hard to data bind to data from the control that opened the tool tip.

Setting a data context and a PlacementTarget solved my issues. My app now has the coolest tool tip and get data from the control I needed.

One style and all controls can use this.

You can download the entire application and presentation after 1:00pm EST on Sunday June 24th to see your data binding teaching in action!

The control that uses this is a WPF textbox that work's just like the textbox in Microsoft Blend. I needed this for the application in the above download.

Thank you, you have made my day, maybe my week!

Karl
