[Solved] Change RadTextBox Tooltip

[baharris]

Is there a way (I guess in the javascript file) to configure the Tooltip not to disappear after only a few seconds. In other words, I want the tooltip to display until the box is clicked on or the mouse is moved away. If I can, will you point me to the correct js file to modify.

Thanks!

Hello Blake,

Could you specify which tooltip are you talking about?

1) Hint support - http://www.telerik.com/demos/aspnet/Input/Examples/RadMaskedTextBox/ShowHint/DefaultCS.aspx

2) You are using RadToolTip together with RadInput?


Kind regards,

I was talking about the tooltip that displays with the RadTextBox. But I have changed my mind. I want to use the RadToolTip instead so I can customize the look of it. I have tried to use the RadToolTip with the RadTextBox but I cannot get the tooltip to display. I am setting the IsClientID to true and using the "_text" after my TargetControlID. Any ideas why it is still not working?

Thanks!

Hi Blake,

Please try this:

ASPX / ASCX:

<telerik:RadToolTip
   ID="RadToolTip1"
   runat="server"
   Text="RadToolTip"
   RelativeTo="Element"
   TargetControlID="RadTextBox1_text"
   IsClientID="true"
   Position="BottomRight"
   ShowEvent="FromCode" />

<telerik:RadTextBox
   ID="RadTextBox1"
   runat="server"
   Text="RadTextBox"
   ClientEvents-OnLoad="tonload"
   ClientEvents-OnFocus="tonfocus" />

Javascript:

function tonload(sender, args)
{
    var radToolTip = $find("<%= RadToolTip1.ClientID %>");
    radToolTip.show();
}

function tonfocus(sender, args)
{
    var radToolTip = $find("<%= RadToolTip1.ClientID %>");
    if (radToolTip.isVisible())
    {
        radToolTip.hide();
    }
}

This will make the tooltip show on page load and hide it when you focus the textbox.

Let us know if you need further advice.
