Hello Jeff,

The easiest way to achieve what you need is to use a separate RadToolTip and call its server method Show as demonstrated below (this.RadToolTip1.Show()):

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

I am also glad to inform you that we have implemented server methods RadAlert, RadConfirm and RadPrompt which will give you built-in ability to show radalert, radconfirm and radprompt from the server and they will be available in the upcoming Q1 major release which is scheduled for March.

It didn't work from me, here's what I did.

<telerik:RadToolTip HideEvent="LeaveToolTip" Modal="true" Position="Center" RelativeTo="Element" ShowEvent="OnClick" IsClientID="false" ID="PluginInfoTooltip" runat="server">

<asp:Label CssClass="importantplugindetial" Font-Bold="true" runat="server" ID="PluginInfoLabel" Text=""></asp:Label>

</telerik:RadToolTip>

and codebehind

Protected Sub InstallButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles InstallButton.Click

If Plugins.Contains(pluginName) Then

PluginInfoLabel.Text = "Plugin Setting Saved"

PluginInfoTooltip.Show()

Else

PluginInfoLabel.Text = "Plugin Installed"

PluginInfoTooltip.Show()

End If

End Sub

The tooltip doesn't even show up.

Hello Jeff,

I examined your code and I noticed that you have RelativeTo set to Element and you do not have a target control set. This is invalid setup because if the tooltip should be relative to an element, you should provide such and element and I suggest to set RelativeTo="BrowserWindow" for your case (you can also keep this setting and set a target control). With this change your code should work as follows:

<%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Default3.aspx.vb" Inherits="Default3" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head id="Head1" runat="server">

<title></title>

</head>

<body>

<form id="form1" runat="server">

<asp:ScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server">

</asp:ScriptManager>

<asp:Button ID="InstallButton" runat="server" Text="Show ToolTip" />

<telerik:RadToolTip HideEvent="LeaveToolTip" Modal="true" Position="Center" RelativeTo="BrowserWindow"

ShowEvent="OnClick" IsClientID="false" ID="PluginInfoTooltip" runat="server">

<asp:Label CssClass="importantplugindetial" Font-Bold="true" runat="server" ID="PluginInfoLabel"

Text=""></asp:Label>

</telerik:RadToolTip>

</form>

</body>

</html>

Note, also,. that if you by any change have ajaxified the button, you should also ajaxify the tooltip. The page above works on my side, please, test it on yours and let me know how it goes.

Kind regards,
