Different Tooltips on range selector

[Yoann]

Is it possible to have 1 tooltip for the SelectionStart 'gripper' of the slider, and an other tooltip for the SelectionEnd 'gripper'?

Hello Yoann,

In order to achieve this you can use the ThumbStyle and AlternateThumbStyle properties of the RadSlider control. The properties accept a Style that targets a native Thumb element. However, by setting those styles you will override the default ones. So you can extract the default styles and use them as a base for the new one. Here is an example:

<Style TargetType="Thumb" x:Key="ThumbStyle">
    <!-- default setters -->
</Style>
<Style x:Key="leftThumbStyle" TargetType="Thumb" BasedOn="{StaticResource ThumbStyle}">
    <Setter Property="telerik:RadToolTipService.ToolTipContent" Value="Thumb 1" />
</Style>
<Style x:Key="rightThumbStyle" TargetType="Thumb" BasedOn="{StaticResource ThumbStyle}">
    <Setter Property="telerik:RadToolTipService.ToolTipContent" Value="Thumb 2" />
</Style>
<!-- ............ -->
<telerik:RadSlider IsSelectionRangeEnabled="True" Minimum="0" Maximum="100"
                   ThumbStyle="{StaticResource leftThumbStyle}"
                   AlternateThumbStyle="{StaticResource rightThumbStyle}" />

I also attached a project demonstrating this approach. I hope it is useful.

Thank you this is what I was looking for (although I was hoping for a solution which didn't require extracting the complete thumb style...)
