How to get the TextBlock Text property in this fragment?

<TextBlock Text="Hi I am Parent Tooltip" Grid.Row="2" >
        <TextBlock.ToolTip>
            <ToolTip >
                <!--<TextBlock x:Name="test" Text="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor,AncestorType={x:Type TextBlock},AncestorLevel=2},Path=Name}"> </TextBlock>-->
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type TextBlock},AncestorLevel=2},Path=Text}"></TextBlock>
            </ToolTip>
        </TextBlock.ToolTip>
    </TextBlock>

<TextBlock x:Name="textBlock" Text="Hi I am Parent Tooltip" Grid.Row="2" >
        <TextBlock.ToolTip>
            <ToolTip >
                <TextBlock x:Name="toolTip" Text="{Binding Path=Text, ElementName=textBlock}"></TextBlock>
            </ToolTip>
        </TextBlock.ToolTip>
    </TextBlock>

Edit: Added name for TextBlock tooltip above. Then add the following code to your code (in the constructor):

NameScope.SetNameScope(toolTip, NameScope.GetNameScope(this));

That should work.

you can name your text box and associate it with ElementName

you can also have a datacontext set for an object with this text as a property (is mvvm your friend?)

It may be new to .Net 4.0, but it works for me:

<TextBox Text="{Binding SelectedHour}" ToolTip="{Binding Path=Text, RelativeSource={x:Static RelativeSource.Self}}" />
