How to use tooltip with RadDatePicker

[Ed Staffin]

Hi,
I am trying to use a RadTooltip with a RadDatePicker as shown below.
However, the tooltop never seems to pop up. I use vitually teh same markup for the
tooltip on other controls on the page and it seems to work fine. Is there something special I
need to do with the RadDatePicker?

<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="txtCompletionDate" runat="server" Skin="Windows7" 

    Calendar-Skin="Vista" DateInput-DisplayDateFormat="MM/dd/yyyy" 

    Culture="English (United States)" 

    Calendar-ShowOtherMonthsDays="False" Calendar-ShowRowHeaders="False" Width="110">

    <DateInput DisplayDateFormat="MM/dd/yyyy"  CausesValidation="True" 

        style="text-align:right" ButtonsPosition="Right" DateFormat="MM/dd/yyyy" Skin="Vista"

        >

    </DateInput>

    <Calendar Skin="Windows7" UseColumnHeadersAsSelectors="False" 

        UseRowHeadersAsSelectors="False" ViewSelectorText="x">

        <SpecialDays>  

            <telerik:RadCalendarDay Repeatable="Today">  

                <ItemStyle BackColor="#FFFFCC" />  

            </telerik:RadCalendarDay>  

        </SpecialDays>  

    </Calendar>

    <DatePopupButton HoverImageUrl="" ImageUrl="" />

</telerik:RadDatePicker>

<telerik:RadToolTip ID="RadToolTipCompletionDate" runat="server" TargetControlID="txtCompletionDate" 

    Title="Admin"

    Text="Actual date of delivery in production from IT & BI."

    Skin="Windows7" AutoCloseDelay="20000"

/>

<asp:CompareValidator ID="cvCompletionDate"

    runat="server" ErrorMessage="Must be a valid date" Type="Date" 

    SetFocusOnError="True" Operator="DataTypeCheck" 

    ControlToValidate="txtCompletionDate" Display="Dynamic">

</asp:CompareValidator>

I should also note that the link for how to do this on the tips and tricks page is broken. :-(

Hello Ed Staffin,

 The picker is a complex control which contains many HTML elements and the actual client ID of the input has the sufix "_dateInput_text" which you should append. This being said you should do the following:

aspx:

<telerik:RadToolTip ID="RadToolTipCompletionDate" runat="server" IsClientID="true"
       Title="Admin" Text="Actual date of delivery in production from IT & BI." Skin="Windows7"
       AutoCloseDelay="20000" />

code-behind:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadToolTipCompletionDate.TargetControlID = txtCompletionDate.ClientID + "_dateInput_text";
}

Improving this behavior is logged in our TODO list but I cannot give you an exact time estimate when this will be done.
