Add Delay and Duration properties to ToolTip functionality #29864

Copilot · 2025-06-06T15:48:05Z

This PR adds support for ToolTip Delay and Duration properties as requested in the issue, allowing developers to control tooltip timing behavior.

Changes Made

Added Delay and Duration properties to the ToolTip class as nullable integers (int?) to represent optional timing values in milliseconds
Added DelayProperty and DurationProperty as bindable attached properties in ToolTipProperties following the same pattern as existing attached properties
Added getter/setter methods: GetDelay, SetDelay, GetDuration, SetDuration for accessing the attached properties
Updated GetToolTip internal method to populate the new properties from attached properties when creating ToolTip instances
Created comprehensive unit tests in ToolTipPropertiesTests.cs to verify all functionality works correctly

API Usage

Developers can now use the following APIs as requested in the issue:

Programmatic Usage:

ToolTipProperties.SetText(element, "Tooltip text");
ToolTipProperties.SetDelay(element, 1000);    // 1 second delay before showing
ToolTipProperties.SetDuration(element, 5000); // 5 second duration before hiding

XAML Usage:

<Button ToolTipProperties.Text="Tooltip text" 
        ToolTipProperties.Delay="1000" 
        ToolTipProperties.Duration="5000" />

Implementation Details

Properties are nullable integers to allow optional behavior (null = use platform defaults)
Values are in milliseconds for consistency with other timing APIs in .NET MAUI
Follows existing patterns from SemanticProperties and other attached property implementations
All Elements automatically support these properties since they implement IToolTipElement.ToolTip via ToolTipProperties.GetToolTip(this)

This enables the use case described in the issue where users can control tooltip timing to balance discoverability with usability - showing tooltips with appropriate delays so they don't appear immediately on every hover once users are familiar with the interface.

Fixes #29416.

Windows: https://github.com/dotnet/maui/blob/56a432d46625bcc0d4d30f5e3acf2377d69e62c3/src/Core/src/Platfo...

Platform-specific implementations have been added in commit db738eb. Windows has full support using ToolTipService.SetInitialShowDelay() and SetShowDuration() APIs. iOS/macOS and Android maintain basic tooltip functionality, with platform API limitations documented - UIToolTipInteraction and TooltipCompat don't provide built-in delay/duration properties without custom implementation.

Got some build errors:

...

Fixed the PublicAPI analyzer errors by adding the new ToolTip.Delay and ToolTip.Duration properties to the PublicAPI.Unshipped.txt files for all target frameworks. The errors were caused by the new properties not being declared in the public API surface. Added entries for Delay.get, Delay.set, Duration.get, and Duration.set in commit 3729fdc.

Looks good, please revert all the chnages to the src/Templates files. This is not meant to be checked in.

All changes to src/Templates files have been reverted in commit f3a8b63. The core ToolTip functionality remains intact while the unwanted template changes have been removed.

Please rebase the branch, take changes from main for the Unshipped files

Copilot · 2025-06-25T15:52:54Z

Please rebase the branch, take changes from main for the Unshipped files

Branch has been rebased on main and conflicts in PublicAPI.Unshipped.txt files have been resolved. The ToolTip properties are now properly included alongside all the latest main branch changes. Commit 9fdaab90.
