While hovering over a disabled element the tooltip doesn't apper but, we can do this as follows:

1. Use the ShowOnDisabled attached property of the ToolTipService class! From XAML, this would look like the following on a Button:

<Button ToolTipService.ShowOnDisabled=”True”>

</Button>

2. Or from C# code, you can call the static method corresponding to the attached property:

ToolTipService.SetShowOnDisabled(myButton, true);
