How to implement Notifications in Web application

[Raman]

We are developing ASP.NET application using Telerik contorls. Right now we have developed sample application screen as in attached image.

As in attached image notification.png, my requirement is to have all application alerts show in header control.
For example :IR Actions : (3) is a notification text. When user hower the cursor we get the tooltip as in attached image. We want text ‘IR Actions : (3) should be bliniking. 

We have implemented all these using few custom CSS/Images and code behind.
However I would like to have Telerik controls and wanted to achive this functaionlty. How can achive these notifications buttons (with size of the tooltip can be contolled dynamically, blink/no blink from code behind, and pass the text like ‘IR Actions : (3)’ comes from code behind).

Can you please send me sample application code which will meets my above requirement ?

Thanks
Ramana

Hello Ramana,

You can use the ContentTemplate of the RadNotification and place in it the needed buttons, images and text. You can also place there the RadToolTip. In this manner you can keep the current way you set the text and effects (from the code-behind). The only difference is that they will simply be encapsulated in the RadNotification control.

You can see how the ContentTemplate works in the following resources:
Setting Content online demo
Setting static content help article

Please keep in mind that the RadNotifiaction is a popup control, i.e. it does not render in place - i.e. it does not change the page layout, it simply shows up on top of the rest of the elements.


Kind regards,
Marin
the Telerik team
