RadToolTip instead of RadToolTipManager AutoTooltipify

[Christian]

I have a RadToolTipManager set up with AutoTooltipify to change all of my tooltips to be RadToolTips.  These have no particular sizes because they are all the small img alts, etc.

Now I have the need to take a particular ToolTip and make the size 400x350 with scrolling but I am finding that the ToolTip is still falling under the RadToolTipManager. 

Any suggestions on a work around?

Hi Christian,

As far as I understand from your explanation, the problem in your case comes from the fact that you do not know how to reference the particular tooltip in order to change its size.

If so, I suggest to do the following:

1) Hook up the OnClientShow or OnClientBeforeShow event.
2) Find the best way to detect the tooltip in your case, e.g check its text (get it through the get_text() method) and compare it to the text of the partcicular tooltip. If the text is the same, this is the tooltip you need and you can change its size through the client-side API mnethods. If it is not, do nothing.

I hope that my suggestion is helpful, let us know in case you need further assistance.

Hi Sventlina,

You pointed me in the right direction.  I wanted to resize tooltips with large text since the ToolTipManager seemed to randomly pick a size.

I ended up using the OnClientBeforeShow event:

 

function OnClientBeforeShow(sender, eventArgs) {
    if (sender.get_text().length > 150) {
        var tooltipTable = sender._tableElement;
        if (tooltipTable) {
            tooltipTable.style.width = "400px";
            tooltipTable.style.height = "350px";
        }
        else {
            tooltip.set_width("400px");
            tooltip.set_height("350px");
        }

       sender.set_contentScrolling(0);

    }
}

Thanks for your help
