Enable tooltip

Enable the tooltip for the thumb by setting the Tooltip property to SliderTooltip. It is used to clearly indicate the current selection of the value during the interaction. The default value of the Tooltip property is null.

<sliders:SfDateTimeRangeSlider Minimum="2010-01-01" 
                               Maximum="2018-01-01" 
                               RangeStart="2012-01-01" 
                               RangeEnd="2016-01-01">
   
   <sliders:SfDateTimeRangeSlider.Tooltip>
      <sliders:SliderTooltip />
   </sliders:SfDateTimeRangeSlider.Tooltip>

</sliders:SfDateTimeRangeSlider>
SfDateTimeRangeSlider rangeSlider = new SfDateTimeRangeSlider();
rangeSlider.Minimum = new DateTime(2010, 01, 01);
rangeSlider.Maximum = new DateTime(2018, 01, 01);
rangeSlider.RangeStart = new DateTime(2012, 01, 01);
