Important changes in the Client-Side API of RadToolTip for ASP.NET AJAX

[Telerik Admin]

Hello,

In RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q1 2008 there is a change in the Client-Side API. The compatibility layer which was used in the transition beta period is now removed. All client-side methods strictly follow the ASP.NET AJAX conventions and are lower case.
For instance: get_activeToolTip() should always be used from now on, get_ActiveToolTip() is no longer supported. This also results in significant improvement in page loading times.

Best regards,
The Telerik team

Please update the live demos and the documentation. Some are still using the wrong letter casing.

For example, from the API doc about "get_contentElement"

   var tooltip = $find("RadToolTip3");     
   var contentElement = tooltip.get_ContentElement();
   var checkboxes = contentElement.getElementsByTagName("INPUT");

From http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/tooltip/examples/clientsideapi/defaultcs.aspx :

You can use the get_ContentElement, set_ContentElement functions to obtain a reference to the HTML element, holding the content of the RadToolTip or to set this element. Example:
                var tooltip = $find("RadToolTip1");
                var contentElement = tooltip.get_ContentElement();
                tooltip.set_ContentElement(contentElement);

Current version : 2009 Q1 SP1 (2009.1.402.35)

How do you display an HTML string returned by the webservice inside of the Tooltip?

[Petio Petkov]

Hi,

Once the response is received we add it to the RadToolTip's content div with the following code:
div.innerHTML = response;
The following code:

[WebMethod]
   public String SbuDetailHtml(object context)
   {
       string value;
       string regular = "regular<br/>regular<H1>regular</H1>";
       string encoded = Server.HtmlEncode("encoded<br/>encoded<H1>encoded</H1>");
       return value = regular + encoded;
   }

will display:

regular
regular

regular

encoded<br/>encoded<H1>encoded</H1>

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
