I'm trying to get search results to display in a tooltip window.  I've got the tooltip working to pass my search text to my partial view, but it only works on the first call.  Every time the tooltip loads again, the results are the same, because the content is never reloaded.  Is there a way to not cache what comes back from the tooltips .LoadContentFrom function, so that I can pass new parameters back to the partial view each time?
Here is what I have for the tooltip.
What I'd like is that everytime the tooltip is show, the LoadContentFrom is called.
@(Html.Kendo().Tooltip()
    .For("#searchButton")   
    .LoadContentFrom("AllSearch", "Search", new { area = "" })   
    .ShowOn(TooltipShowOnEvent.Click)
    .Position(TooltipPosition.Bottom)
    .AutoHide(false)
    .Width(600)
    .Height(600)
    .Callout(true)
    .Animation(true)   
    .Events(e =>
        {
            e.RequestStart("requestStart");           
        })
)

<script>
    function requestStart(e) {
        var st = $("#searchText").val();
 
        e.options.data = {
            searchText: st
        }
    }
     
</script>

Hello Peter,

You may manually refresh the Tooltip content by calling its refresh method from within the Show event handler:

@(Html.Kendo().Tooltip()
    //...
    .Events(e =>
        {
           //...
            e.Show("show");          
        })
)
<script type="text/javascript">
    function show() {
        this.refresh();
    }
</script>

Regards,

Thanks for the quick response.  That didn't work in the version of the controls I was using.  I upgraded to the latest and it works great!

Hi,  just need to jump on this too.  I'm setting up tooltips as part of another htmlHelper as follows (with version 2014.1.528)...

TooltipBuilder ttb = html.Kendo().Tooltip();

ttb.For("#"+field);
ttb.ShowOn(TooltipShowOnEvent.Click);
ttb.Position(TooltipPosition.Right);
ttb.AutoHide(false);
ttb.Width(750);
ttb.Height(700);
ttb.LoadContentFrom("EditSelectedField", "Resource", new { context = context, field = buddyField } ); 

ttb.Events(e => e.Show("showEditor"));

I have a javascript function on the page for the event...

function showEditor(e) {
                this.refresh();
}

The function is called whenever the tooltip is shown, but the content is only retrieved from the controller first time through.

Cheers,

Andy.

Hi Andy,

I'm afraid that it is not clear, looking at the provided information, what may be the cause for the issue you are facing. Therefore, it will be appreciated if you could provide a small sample in which this behavior can be observed locally.
