customized maptip with buttons

[ThaoNguyen]

I want to add some buttons to my graphic layer maptip.  I am able to do this, but the problem I have is I cannot move the mouse to the created buttons inside my MapTip because when I move my mouse toward buttons, the maptip disappears.  Is there a way for me to set the delay ?
I read another post mentioned about MapTipHideDelay, but can't find this property at all!

Thanks!

Take a look at http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=158&f=2455&t=298745.

Morten talks about this a bit and states specifically that the maptips do not support "freezing".

So, is there another way to do this?  I looked at InfoWindow, but it is for mouse click event and I want mouse over event.

Ah, I just tried MouseEnter event for GraphicLayer and display InfoWindow.  It works.  However, I would like to see if there is a better option.  I just tried a quick test, other things I need to handle such as when to hide InfoWindow....
and there are other things I need to fix because it overwrites my drawing event :(, can't draw anymore.

Will this be available in next release?  I think to have a tip delay time would be very useful.

MapTipHideDelay is an attached property owned by the GraphicsLayer class and can be set to the maptip in order to define a hide delay.
There is a sample here : http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/samples/start.htm#GraphicsMapTip

the XAML code looks like:

 
          <esri:GraphicsLayer ID="StatesGraphicsLayer">
                <esri:GraphicsLayer.MapTip>
                    <Border esri:GraphicsLayer.MapTipHideDelay="00:00:01.5" CornerRadius="10" BorderBrush="#FF222957" BorderThickness="3" Margin="0,0,15,15"> .......
