Sorry for the cryptic thread name but i am not sure exactly what to call this...
Currently i use TooltipManagers that load user control OnDemand. I pass the control a parameter and the control then uses this parameter to retrieve data OnAjaxUpdate.
Now i have a slightly different senario. The data i want the tooltip to display is available on the page where the TooltipManager sits. The control i want to load in the tooltip does not have to retrieve any data.
That said the ToolTipUpdateEventArgs being a string value is very limiting in this senario... I would like to pass the control an entire XML node to display the data...
So here is the questions...
1) case ToolTipUpdateEventArgs be anything other than a string?
2) is this the correct way of doing this. i want to dynamically add a control to the tooltip[ to load OnDemand but i want to pass it all the data it needs. So i guess the question is is there a way to dynamically build a tooltip without using a control to load into it?
Sorry this question is a little bit confusing, but maybe someone understand what i am getting at or at least it will open up discussion and i can explain further.
