Is each ScreenTip cached?

[xclirion]

Hi,

I have a GridView and when someone hovers over a cell a ScreenTip is displayed with some more informations. Works good, but now there was a need to add a button where the user can turn off these ScreenTips. And surprisingly even after turning them of some ScreenTips are still getting displayed. For us it seems that all ScreenTips which have been already displayed seems to get displayed without calling the ScreenTipNeeded Event.

How can I change this behaviour?

Thanks,
Michael

Hello Michael Topf,

Thank you for writing.

I am not sure how exactly you have implemented the adding of ScreenTips in your project. If you create a ScreenTip reference in ScreenTipNeeded event, it will remain even after you have unsubscribed from the event. You can turn off the screen tips by using a flag and the ScreenTipNeeded event. Please consider the following code as example:

bool _screenTipsOn = true;
void radGridView1_ScreenTipNeeded(object sender, ScreenTipNeededEventArgs e)
{
    if (_screenTipsOn)
    {
        RadOffice2007ScreenTipElement screenTip = new RadOffice2007ScreenTipElement();
        GridDataCellElement cell = e.Item as GridDataCellElement;
        if (cell != null)
        {
            screenTip.MainTextLabel.Text = cell.Value.ToString();
        }
        cell.ScreenTip = screenTip;
    }
    else
    {
        RadScreenTipElement element = e.Item.ScreenTip;
        if (element != null)
        {
            e.Item.ScreenTip = null;
            element.Dispose();
        }
    }
}
private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    _screenTipsOn = !_screenTipsOn;
}

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
