In outlook 2010 I can use F6 to cycle through the main window elements, including the ribbon. When the F6 key takes me to the ribbon it also displays the key tips for the ribbon.
I want to do the same in our application, how can I programatically cause the xamRibbon to display the key tips?

Currently there is no property or method that will put the ribbon into keytip mode. For now you may use SendKeys method to send an F6 or F10 or Alt key.
I will go ahead and log this as a feature request for you.
This does not answer my question. I am trying to emulate the behavior of the F6 keystroke in Outlook 2010. This cycles through the main sections of the UI including the ribbon, so at part of my logic for this I need to be able to activate the ribbon key tips from code.
Using F10 on XamRibbon you can display key tips which is similar to MS Word or MS outlook. Below forum post also discusses similar issue.
