Customize tooltip content?

[mrdcpwns]

Is it possible to change the tooltip content when the mouse is over an appointment and make it similar to the one shown on the First Look demo under Scheduler for WPF (containing image,other details,etc.) ?

Hello mrdcpwns,

Thank you for the question. ToolTip does not support the described functionality. However, you can use a ScreenTip in this case. It offers extended formatting capabilities compared to ToolTip. Please, consider the following code:

void radScheduler1_ScreenTipNeeded(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.ScreenTipNeededEventArgs e)
{
    AppointmentElement appointmentElement = e.Item as AppointmentElement;
    if (appointmentElement != null)
    {
        RadOffice2007ScreenTipElement screenTip = new RadOffice2007ScreenTipElement();
        screenTip.MainTextLabel.Text = "This is a ScreenTip";
        appointmentElement.ScreenTip = screenTip;
    }
}

Do not hesitate to contact me again if you have any other questions.

Best wishes,

Although I'm not able to test out the code you've provided since I'm more familiar with vb.net, the information you've provided regarding the screentip was really helpful. Thanks.

Hello mrdcpwns,

Thank you for your positive feedback. As to C# to VB translation and the reverse you can use this code converter provided by Telerik.

Hmm 

Is there a simple way to just change the original text to include more text as this RadOffice2007ScreenTipElement 
looks nothing like the original screen tip

Hello Denis,

Thank you for writing.

In order to manage the tooltip text you should use the ToolTipTextNeeded event. Here is a sample demonstrating how to extend the existing tooltip with some custom text:

Private Sub RadScheduler1_ToolTipTextNeeded(sender As Object, e As Telerik.WinControls.ToolTipTextNeededEventArgs) Handles RadScheduler1.ToolTipTextNeeded
       Dim appElement As AppointmentElement = TryCast(sender, AppointmentElement)
       If appElement IsNot Nothing Then
           e.ToolTipText = e.ToolTipText & "  " & appElement.Start.TimeOfDay.ToString() & " " & appElement.End.TimeOfDay.ToString()
       End If
   End Sub

I hope this helps. Please do not hesitate to contact us in case you need any further assistance.

All the best,
