RadToolTip Manager Clear on Client Side

[Sergio]

Greetings

I would like to Clear my RadTooltipManage similarly to how is Clear on the Tooltipified Radgrid example.

RadToolTipManager1.TargetControls.Clear();

However, I would like to do it on the client -  OnClientHide event. My scenario is having a DetailView on the tooltip, all my fields are bind correctly, however for some reason there is a checkbox that start showing the value of true after i mouse over a record that has a value of true.

When I change the page it stop happening, given that the Radgrid_ItemCommand calls the above RadtooltipManager1.TargetControls.Clear() statement I suppose. however, once i mouse over a record with the checkbox value = true all my record in the page start showing value = true. It is important to point out that this is the only field in the detailview that is doing this.

I think that clearing the control everytime it hides can do the trick, how do i call the above clear statment on the client?

function OnClientHide(sender, eventArgs)
        {
            // RadTooltipManager Clear Statement.
        }

Hello Sergio,

 The RadToolTipManager does not provide the functionality you request and you are the first one who asks for it. Basically, we can provide you with some relevant code but it will use private methods which is not desirable because can lead to problems if it changes on our side later and also I believe that there could be a much better solution for the case.

However, in order to be able to provide an adequate solution, we should first find out what is actually happening in your demo and causes this beahvior. Possible reasons could be incorrect ajaxifying, clearing the targets controls in at a wrong point, setting AutoTooltipify to true, etc. This being said, I suggest that you prepare a very simple reproduction demo (use a fake programmatic datasource), open a new support ticket and send it to us and we will debug it on our side and we will provide you with the best and safe  solution we could find.

Hi Svelina

Actually I think there has been a requirement for this functionality before SEE HERE
I had the exact same problem HERE i initialy thought that placing the tooltip manager inside the ajax panle has worked but appears that it did not so i am now looking for a solution.

Hi Cush,

 There was a request for this functionality and we have considered it. However, after discussion we decided not to implement it for the time being due to few reasons.

Please, send us a sample reproduction code and we will fix it for you, most probably without additional code but by adjusting AJAX settings which is much cleaner and faster solution. If your case turns out to be not possible to resolve without client clear of the array, we will develop a custom solution for you which does this. Furthermore, we will investigate your scenario and this could arise a new discussion on introducing this feature - if we decide so, we will also give you some telerik points for your kind cooperation.
