Yes, you can add tooltip text to DataGridTextColumn - just stylize it

<DataGridTextColumn Header="ScreenName" Binding="{Binding ScreenName}" >
    <DataGridTextColumn.CellStyle>
        <Style TargetType="DataGridCell">
            <Setter Property="ToolTip" Value="{Binding Name}" />
        </Style>
    </DataGridTextColumn.CellStyle>
</DataGridTextColumn>

Wpf – How to specify a ToolTip for a control in a Style from XAML

Figured it out... took me about 6 hours...

For some reason, I can't set the value directly using Value.Setter. If I define the content for the tooltip as a static resource though, and then set it in the Style property of the DataGrid.RowStyle it works.

So, the datagrid row style looks like:

            <Style TargetType="{x:Type dg:DataGridRow}">

                <Setter Property="ToolTip" Value="{StaticResource resKWIC}">
                </Setter>                 
            </Style>

        </dg:DataGrid.RowStyle>

And the resource is

<Window.Resources>
    <StackPanel x:Key="resKWIC">
        <TextBlock>f1</TextBlock>
        <TextBlock>f2></TextBlock>
    </StackPanel>
</Window.Resources>

For single click DataGrid checkbox you can just put regular checkbox control inside DataGridTemplateColumn and set UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged.

<DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
        <CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding Path=IsSelected, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" />
    </DataTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
