I'm not sure how a single attached property is convoluted as the logic is all isolated in one place. Yes there is a suggestion entered for this but I cannot say if or when this would be implemented.

To my knowledge this is not considered a bug and I'm not sure if a feature request has been logged for this but you could easily implement that behavior using the sample I provided. I'm attaching a further modification to that sample that adds an attached property and does what you are asking - suppress a tooltip where the tooltip is the same as the caption.

I'm glad to see this has been addressed.  It seems that in Microsoft Word 2007, ToolTips in the Application Menu are hidden only if they are identical to the Caption.  Perhaps this is the intrinsic functionality the Infragistics Ribbon could implement?

However, the workaround offered is quite convoluted for a minor issue, so I'm prepared to wait until this functionality is built in to the control.  Is this underway?  Any idea when this will be done?

Thanks,

This worked perfectly!

I also added group tooltip handling to XamRibbon_RibbonToolTipOpening as follows:

                    case ToolLocation.Unknown:
                        // Disable group tooltips when not in QAT
                        if (originalSource is RibbonGroup)
                        {
                            e.OriginalEventArgs.Handled = true;
                        }
                        break;

Thank you very much for providing a quality solution. Your help is greatly appreciated.
