How come I don’t see a MouseHover event in WPF for it’s elements?

WPF doesn’t provide a MouseHover event and instead provides a much more flexible and high-level Tooltip support. To simulate MouseHover, you will first set the tooltip for the element in question to some dummy text and then listen to the TooltipOpening event where you would mark it as ‘Handled’ as follows:

 [XAML]
<Canvas ToolTipOpening='Canvas_ToolTipOpening' ToolTipService.ToolTip='Testing'>
</Canvas>

 [C#]
        private void Canvas_ToolTipOpening(object sender, ToolTipEventArgs e)
        {
            e.Handled = true;
            // More code goes here:
        }
