Cheers,

Hello Sabrina,

Your scenario is possible only when the RadWindow's content is set through its <ContentElement>. If this is your case the solution should looks like this:

<telerik:RadWindow ID="RadWindow1" runat="server">
    <ContentTemplate>
        <label>
            RadWindowContent</label>
    </ContentTemplate>
</telerik:RadWindow>
<telerik:RadToolTipManager ID="RadToolTipManager1" runat="server" RelativeTo="Mouse"
    MouseTrailing="true" Text="RadWindow1">
</telerik:RadToolTipManager>
<asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text="Open RadWindow" OnClientClick="openRadWindow(); return false;" />
<telerik:RadScriptBlock ID="RadScriptBlock1" runat="server">
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function openRadWindow()
        {
            var oWindow = $find("<%= RadWindow1.ClientID %>");
            oWindow.show();
            showWindowToolTip(oWindow);
        }

        function showWindowToolTip(oWindow)
        {
            var radToolTipManager = $find("<%= RadToolTipManager1.ClientID %>");
            var radToolTip = radToolTipManager.getToolTipByElement(oWindow.get_popupElement());
            if (!radToolTip)
            {
                var radToolTip = radToolTipManager.createToolTip(oWindow.get_popupElement());
            }
        }
    </script>
</telerik:RadScriptBlock>

Please note that if you load a different document in RadWindow control (using NavigateUrl property) you can set tooltip only to the RadWindow's elements like command buttons for example. The tootltip will not be shown when the mouse is over the RadWindow's content.

I hope this helps.

All the best,
