DevExpress.Xpf.Editors.TextEdit Tooltip

I am inquiring if anyone knows how to get the tooltip of a DevExpress.Xpf.Editors.TextEdit object.

I've checked the the ToolTip property of the object and tried a number of other things, like trying to see if a child object gets exposed when i hover over the red x but i have come up with nothing..

Name: WPFObject("TxtVirtualControllerAddress")

CtrlFullClassName: DevExpress.Xpf.Editors.TextEdit

Hi Tim,

Using the control's native methods and properties, you can work with it in TestComplete as you do in the IDE where the app was built.

Thus, it looks like you need to investigate the ErrorToolTipContentTemplate property. I've found a sample demonstrating how to set the value to the control's tooltip:

https://documentation.devexpress.com/#wpf/DevExpressXpfEditorsBaseEdit_ErrorToolTipContentTemplatetopic

Also, the following forum discussion can be helpful:

If this doesn't help, could you please create a sample app containing the control with the tooltip and post it here? We could play with it to find a solution for you.

Hi Tim,

I'm glad that Helen's answer helped. You can accept it to say thanks. In this case, Helen will get some points to her reputation :)
