I searched and did not see a solution.
I can only get the validation to show the tooltip if I do not set a tooltip in the combo box tooltip property. I would like to see the validation error tooltip when one is present otherwise show the tooltip from the combobox property. The validation tooltip shows up fine when I remove the text from the tooltip property (i.e. from the property panel for the combo box).
The XAML in Application.Resources (App.XAML)for the tooltip to show the validation error is
<Style x:Key="StandardComboBoxStyle" TargetType="{x:Type ComboBox}">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="Validation.HasError" Value="True">
<Setter Property="ToolTip" Value="{Binding RelativeSource={x:Static RelativeSource.Self}, Path=(Validation.Errors)[0].ErrorContent}"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
I also use a validation template for the Combobox as follows. This is in the UserControl.Resources section within the user control cs file.
<ControlTemplate x:Key="comboBoxValidationTemplate">
<DockPanel Name="myDockPanel">
<Border BorderBrush="Red" BorderThickness="3">
<AdornedElementPlaceholder Name="MyAdorner" />
</Border>
<TextBlock Text="*" FontWeight="Bold" FontSize="18" Foreground="Red" DockPanel.Dock="Left" />
</DockPanel>
</ControlTemplate>
The control itself is defined as follows. Note that there are other references not defined here (but hopefully not pertinent - feel free to let me know if questions).
<ComboBox x:Name="ExposureTime" SelectedValuePath="Content"
Text="{Binding ExposureTime, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, ValidatesOnDataErrors=True, ValidatesOnExceptions=True}" IsEditable="True" Validation.ErrorTemplate="{StaticResource comboBoxValidationTemplate}"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Right" FontSize="18" Margin="136,47,462,0" Height="27" VerticalAlignment="Top" GotFocus="ComboBox_GotFocus_1" LostFocus="ComboBox_LostFocus_1" PreviewTextInput="ExposureTime_PreviewTextInput" Opacity="{Binding BackgroundOpacity, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" FontWeight="Thin" Style="{DynamicResource StandardComboBoxStyle}" SelectedValue="{Binding Mode=OneWay, ValidatesOnDataErrors=True, ValidatesOnExceptions=True}" IsTextSearchEnabled="False" ToolTip="My tooltip test.">
<ComboBoxItem Content="0.05"/>
<ComboBoxItem Content="0.1"/>
<ComboBoxItem Content="0.2" />
<ComboBoxItem Content="1" />
<ComboBoxItem Content="2" />
<ComboBoxItem Content="5" />
<ComboBoxItem Content="10" />
<ComboBoxItem Content="20" />
<ComboBoxItem Content="60" />
<ComboBox.IsEnabled >
<MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource multiBooleanConverter}">
<Binding Path="NotPerformingExposure" UpdateSourceTrigger="PropertyChanged"/>Th
<Binding Path="NotPerformingFocusTest" UpdateSourceTrigger="PropertyChanged"/>
</MultiBinding>
</ComboBox.IsEnabled>
</ComboBox>
