Put TextBlock inside ToolTip in wpf (C#)

Question

for(int k=0;k<Config.Lines[i].Config.Stations[j].Config.Backward.Count;k++){

                _drawing.Children.Add(new Ellipse
                {   ToolTip = "Add your tooltip text here",
                    Stroke = Brushes.Black,
                    StrokeThickness = .6,
                    Width = 3,
                    Height = 3,
                    Margin = new Thickness(Config.Lines[i].Config.Stations[j].Config.Coordinate.Item1, Config.Lines[i].Config.Stations[j].Config.Coordinate.Item2+PlatformGap*(-k), 0, 0)
                });
                }

How do I put this textblock inside a tooltip? The purpose is to view this textblock only on mouse hover. Please suggest any other method also if you find one.

its another object ( ellipse). I want to hover on that object and on doing so should be able to view this textbox. _drawing.Children.Add(new Ellipse { Stroke = Brushes.Black, StrokeThickness = .6, Width = 3, Height = 3, Margin = new Thickness(Config.Lines[i].Config.Stations[j].Config.Coordinate.Item1, Config.Lines[i].Config.Stations[j].Config.Coordinate.Item2+PlatformGap*(-k), 0, 0) }); } — Shubham Anand, Jun 04 '18 at 06:29

Ellipse has a tooltip property that you can use:

 _drawing.Children.Add(new Ellipse { ToolTip = "Add your tooltip text here", Fill = Brushes.Black, Stroke = Brushes.Black, StrokeThickness = .6, Width = 3, Height = 3, Margin = new Thickness(Config.Lines[i].Config.Stations[j].Config.Coordinate.Item1, Config.Lines[i].Config.Stations[j].Config.Coordinate.Item2+PlatformGap*(-k), 0, 0) }); }

When you hover over the ellipse, you see nothing? – Shivani Katukota Jun 04 '18 at 07:51
Nope. I think we also have to add some kind of control or exact location where this is required. – Shubham Anand Jun 04 '18 at 07:53
no, you don't require that. I tried adding the exact same code on button click and mine works fine. Could you show me the code you used? – Shivani Katukota Jun 04 '18 at 07:54
i got the problem! since your ellipse is not filled..your mouse hover cannot find the element..Try setting Ellipse Fill = System.Windows.Media.Brushes.Black – Shivani Katukota Jun 04 '18 at 08:22
what exactly is _drawing? – Shivani Katukota Jun 04 '18 at 11:45
a Canvas. And we are adding these elements (ellipse, textblock, lines) in its Children – Shubham Anand Jun 05 '18 at 01:44
