Combobox and Tooltip

[Burt Kroner]

I have a combobox on my page and want to have a tooltip applied to each item in the combobox.
Similar to what is shown for the Telerik RadTree at http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/tooltip/examples/tooltiptreeview/defaultvb.aspx is the "look" I want for the Combobox Items.

Protected Sub RadComboBox1_ItemCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxItemEventArgs) Handles RadComboBox1.ItemCreated
For Each domElementID As String In e.Item.Value
'  use domElementID.ToString()  to load a tooltip similar to the link I provided above
Next
End Sub

Hi Burt Kroner,

Let me suggest you use the RadToolTipManager client-side API in order to add RadToolTips to RadComboBox items. You can handle the OnClientFocus event in this manner:

function OnClientFocusHandler(sender, eventArgs) {
    var items = sender.get_items();
    var tooltipManager = $find("<%= RadToolTipManager1.ClientID%>");

    for (i = 0; i < items.get_count(); i++) {
        var li = items.getItem(i).get_element();
        li.id = items.getItem(i).get_value()
        var tooltip = tooltipManager.createToolTip(li);
        tooltip.set_text(items.getItem(i).get_text());
        tooltip.set_value(items.getItem(i).get_value());
    }
}

In order to customize the "look" of the RadToolTip you can create a user control as described at the online demo.
Please find more details at the sample attached.

All the best,
