I want to use RadTooltip as a type of messagebox, is that possible. ?

[johan stenstrom]

I want to use  RadTooltip as a clever  type of  " messagebox " with a few standard asp controls on it. , is that possible. ?

To use  Radtooltip would be very usefull in my project. 

I have all code in place the only obstacle left is that I cant find out how to show RadTooltip1 from code behind when I want to.

I dont want to show the tooltip using the standard methods, like on_click, got focus, 

 

Just a simple line of in code behind (vb)  

radtooltip.show() ..  (It don't work) .. Do I need java script on the aspx code to ? 

 Best regards

Hi Joha,

When you have ShowEvent="FromCode" you should programmatically show the tooltip. This can be done both on the client and on the server side. To show the tooltip from the server you should call its server method Show() as shown below.

cs:

RadToolTip1.Show();

I have taken a fresh radtoolptip from the toolbox in my visualstudio2010 (telerik 2009, Q3). I placed it ontop of other controls ( a map ) . I gets the name radtooltip1

I have adjusted the tooltip parameters  ShowEvent="FromCode" and set the modal property=true. 

From code behind the code looks like this..  

    RadToolTip1.Show()

Still no tooltip shows, is the tooltip alwas ontop off other controls ? 

Best

Hello johan,

As far as I can see from your code you have not specified the RelativeTo and TragetControlID properties. Please note that the default value of the RelativeTo property is Mouse and for this mode and for the RelativeTo="Element" it is required to specify TargetControlID. However, in your case you can set RelativeTo="BrowserWindow" and this should be enough to solve the issue since this mode is designed for such cases and does not need a target.

I also believe that the following demo might be helpful:

I hope that my reply is helpful, let me know how it goes.

Dear support,

Yes I have been trying your RadToolTip control in a new project. It work's as described above. 

a line of code  -->  RadToolTip1.show() shows the tooltip as it should and described in the manual.

However in my project which have grow BIG, contains a lot of other Rad AJAX controlls like radmenu, radgrid, radtooltipmanager....

the radtooltip1 does not show using the same method as I was successfull showing with a new empty project.    

How can I restore the RAD ASP.NET AJAX functionality ?  Perhaps I have destroyed something in webconfig or 

javascript in my aspx page? 

Best regards.

Hello johan,

Every time when using AJAX and you change some server property of any control (no matter RadControl or standard asp control) you should update the control which is changed itself as well. The server method Show() of the tooltip actually "tells" the tooltip  that it should be visible and thus you should also update it. This being said, make sure that you update the tooltip as well (e.g add the needed AJAX settings) and if everything else is correctly configured the problem should disappear.
