If the ToolTipType property is set to Default or SuperTip, a tooltip specified by the ToolTipControllerShowEventArgs.SuperTip property will be displayed. If the ToolTipType property is set to Standard, a regular tooltip will be displayed. Use the ToolTipControllerShowEventArgs.ToolTip and ToolTipControllerShowEventArgs.Title properties to specify the tooltip content. If the ToolTipType property is set to Flyout, a flyout tooltip will be shown. Use the ToolTipControllerShowEventArgs.FlyoutControl property to specify the tooltip content.
