Default Button ToolTip

[dhuss]

How do you turn off the default tooltip on the button. It is redundant to have the text="Save" and then when you hover over the button you automatically get a tooltip saying the same thing. I have tried to set the Tooltip="" and that doesn't work. If I set the tooltip text to "Save Record", this shows up when the mouse hovers over the button. Suggestions.

<telerik:RadButton ID="btnSave" runat="server" Text="Save" Width="100px">
</telerik:RadButton>

Hi,

I agree that when the ToolTip property is set to an empty string or not set at all, the tooltip should not pop up.
I logged the problem in our PITS system and we will fix it. Here you can find the PITS Issue: Public URL.

You can use the following workaround to temporary solve the problem:

<telerik:RadButton ID="btnSave" runat="server" Text="Save" Width="100px" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad"></telerik:RadButton>
<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientLoad(sender) {
        if (sender.get_toolTip() == "") sender.get_element().title = "";
    }
</script>

Thanks for the work-around script. That solves the problem

The workaround doesn't seem to work for me when there is a ToolTipManager on the page ... Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hello Mike,

The provided solution in my earlier post applies to the browser's tooltip, but not to the RadTooltip control.
Can you please explain in more detail what your scenario exactly is and if possible provide a sample project which demonstrates the problem?

In the meantime, put the RadButton controls after the ToolTipManager and see whether this will fix the problem.


All the best,
