Customize Mouse over tooltip for RadMenuItem inside RadMenu for Disabled item

[Sreenivas]

Hi,
I am having issue with having tooltip only for disabled item in a list of radmenuitem.
Basically I have say A, B, C, D as items and lets say B  is disabled. So when the user (mouseover/click is also fine) on B, a tooltip should come with the text.
Thanks in advance,
Sreenivas.

<telerik:RadMenuItem Enabled="false" Text="B" ToolTip="You cannot perform this action because there is a reason you can't. \nOtherwise, \nyou'll just see a really long message here in the tooltip. Unless, of course, you can't. In this case, you won't see a really long tooltip, just this." />

 

 

<telerik:RadMenuItem Enabled="true" Text="C" ToolTip="" />

 

 

<telerik:RadMenuItem Enabled="true" Text="D" ToolTip="" />

Hello Sreenivas,

I tested you code, and it seemed to bring about the desired result. Can you please be more specific as to what the problem is?


All the best,

Question 1: How to increase the Duration/time  of the tooltip.
Question 2: How can I bold the text which is inside the tooltip and change the border color.

Thanks
Sreenivas.

Hi Sreenivas,

 The built-in tooltip of the menu is a standard browser tooltip and thus you cannot customize it in the manner you want. However, the good news is that you can accomplish the desired result by using RadToolTip - for your convenience I prepared a sample demo for you and you can find it attached to this thread.

I also recommend to examine RadToolTip demos to get a better understanding on how to configure it - you can find them below:

I hope that my suggestion and the sample I prepared for you based on your requirements is helpful, let me know how it goes.
