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?

Thansk ... Ed

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

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

<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"

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.
