Hi,@Mesh Ka . Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum.

I don't think you could do that currently. Looking at this part of the SmartHint in MaterialDesignThemes, it seems that it very much depends on focus and non-emptyness. This code sets the visual state which triggers the transition (i.e. animation) that levitates/floats the hint.
