ToolTip per Item

[Lucas]

Is there a way to configure a tooltip for the items in the RadCombo for silverlight?  I need each one to have a tip.

Thanks,

Hello Lucas,

There is a way to configure a tooltip for each element of a RadCombobox. I have attached a simple project how you can attach manually to each element, all declared in xaml. Of course you can add it to a databinded RadCombobox if you put it into the DataTemplate. Here is a simple code how it can be done:

 <Grid.Resources>
            <DataTemplate x:Key="ComboBoxCustomTemplate">
                <Grid Margin="5,5,5,5" Width="350" m:ToolTipService.ToolTip="{Binding Name}" >
                    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                        <ColumnDefinition />
                        <ColumnDefinition />
                    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                        <RowDefinition />
                        <RowDefinition />
                    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                    <TextBlock FontWeight="Bold" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Text="{Binding Name}" />
                    <TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Text="Phone:" />
                    <TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Foreground="Blue" Margin="40,0,0,0"
                            Text="{Binding Phone}" />
                    <TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Text="Zip:" />
                    <TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Foreground="Blue" Grid.Column="1" Margin="26,0,0,0"
                            Text="{Binding Zip}" />
                </Grid>
            </DataTemplate>
            <DataTemplate x:Key="ComboBoxSimpleTemplate">
                <Grid>
                    <TextBlock Foreground="Red" Text="{Binding Name}" />
                </Grid>
            </DataTemplate>
        </Grid.Resources>

 This code block is from our online Databinding demo. I have just added the tooltip to the grid that wraps the items.

Hope that helps. If you need more help please let me know.
