Hi,
I want to arrange for the content of a Rad ToolTip (or manager) to change after an AJAX postback from a RAD Combo.
To expand my scenario more completely:
I have implemented several RadCombos each with the templated checkbox items (as per your other demos) so that the user can select a combination of items by checking the boxes in the drop down. Now in your demos, you show how to update the "text" of the Combo to list out which items have been selected, however this rapidly becomes hopeless since there is not enough space to show them all in the text area.
So I have modified the js that fires when the checkboxes are checked and unchecked so that if none (or all) are selected the "empty message" is displayed (this says All xxxxx), if exactly one check box is selected the text box displays the text of the selected item, and if more than one is selected the words "Multiple Items" are displayed.
Of course what i now want to acheive is that a tool tip is available to display the full list of selected items when more than one has been selected.
I have attached a RadToolTip (have tried both manager or individual radtooltips) to the Combos, and set the initial ToolTip Text declaratively.
When the RadCombo drop down closes an AJAX postback takes place (using AJAX Manager) - I have to do this since I need to trigger a rebind of a grid to reflect the changed selections, at the same time, I update the "tooltip" of each combo, hoping that when it is all finished the user can hover on the combo and see the updated text. But nothing changes.
If I don't use AJAX, then the tooltip does update to reflect the new list of selected items. I have tried linking the combo and the tooltip manager in the AJAX manager but that does not seem to cause the ToolTip Manager to re-read the tooltiptext of the combos.
I presume I could also do this with js client side, in which case I am again having problems updating the tooltip of the combo and having that relflect in the tooltip (manager) that appears, and since I have to postback to the server to get a different record list, it seems sensible to use the same code to set the new tooltip.
