Solution 2

Try this (no guarantees):

XML

<ComboBox >
    <ComboBox.ToolTip>
        <ToolTip DataContext="{Binding Path=PlacementTarget, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}">
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding SelectionBoxItem}"/>
        </ToolTip>
    </ComboBox.ToolTip>
</ComboBox>

To see when the tooltip opens, try something like this:

C#

myCombo.Tooltip.Opened += new RoutedEventHandler(ToolTip_Open);
myCombo.Tooltip.Closed += new RoutedEventHandler(ToolTipClosed);

I am not using XAML. I am writing a custom class which inherits ComboBox. And this Custom ComboBox has ComboBox items, where we need to display tooltip for each item, when mouse hovers on each item.
