Name/value grid in MapTips not resizable?

dear Readers,

thank you for taking the time to read through this question.

http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/silverlight-api/samples/start.htm#MapTipWidget

i am using this link and i have been able to get the data to display in a maptip declared in code-behind. i am seeing the pertinet information from a feature layer. i was trying to see whether i could resizxe the grid inside the map tip to make it more readable. i had to scroll from left to right due to the width of the contents to examine the contents.

so i thought my maptip width was not enough and i made it 300 and i found that the grid did not expand at all. I had the same size as before and the maptip panel looked large with a constant width grid of name value pairs.

is there a way to re-size the grid in the maptip?

regards
ravi.

The change the width when the maptip is expanded, you have to style the maptip control.
In Blend, right click the control, create a copy of the Template.

In the maptip style, change the width value in the storyboard. Something like:

<VisualState x:Name="Expanded">
    <Storyboard>
        <DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames BeginTime="00:00:00" Storyboard.TargetName="MapTipData" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Height">
            <SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00.5" Value="150" KeySpline="0.3,0 0,1" />
        </DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
        <DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames BeginTime="00:00:00" Storyboard.TargetName="MapTipData" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Width">
            <SplineDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="00:00:00.5" Value="300" KeySpline="0.3,0 0,1" />
        </DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
    </Storyboard>
</VisualState>
