ToolTipText like Office 2010 style

[Jean-Marc Windholz]

Hi,
I'm trying to set the tooltiptext of the radbutton with a title (first row in bold style) and a second part where write the description,
for instance like the microsoft word 2010 style.
First of all, I would like to know if is it possible to do, and if yes, how ?

thank you so much

Hi, 

You can reach it through the designer. In Telerik they are called ScreenTips. Or you can set them through code. 


Here is a link to the Telerik RiboonBar section for adding Screentips
http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/ribbonbarfundamentalsusingscreentips.html

Here is a static (shared) method that you can use to add a screentip to any rad item

Public Shared Sub AddScreenTip(ByVal item As RadItem, ByVal headerText As String, ByVal bodyText As String)

    If item Is Nothing Then
        Throw New System.ArgumentNullException("item")
    End If
    If headerText Is Nothing Then
        Throw New System.ArgumentNullException("headerText")
    End If
    If bodyText Is Nothing Then
        Throw New System.ArgumentNullException("bodyText")
    End If

    If Not item.ScreenTip Is Nothing Then
        item.ScreenTip.Items.Clear()
    End If
    Dim Tip As New RadOffice2007ScreenTipElement()
    Tip.CaptionLabel.Text = headerText
    Tip.MainTextLabel.Text = bodyText
    item.ScreenTip = Tip
End Sub

Hope that helps
Richard
