    whats the coding thats required to close the opened tooltip from an asp.net button.
    using the RadToolTipManager

    for example.. to give a similar action as ManualClose (X) on the radToolTipManager property.

    Thanks

    Hello Chamira,

    Check out the following example which can be used to hide a tooltip on a button click:
    aspx:
     <telerik:RadToolTipManager ID="RadToolTipManager1" Text="Custom RadToolTip Text"  
             HideEvent="FromCode"  runat="server">       
             <TargetControls> 
             <telerik:ToolTipTargetControl TargetControlID="TargetControl" />          
             </TargetControls>   
            </telerik:RadToolTipManager> 
             
            <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Hide Tooltip" OnClientClick="return CloseToolTip()" /> 

    js:
    function CloseToolTip()      
        {          
            var controller = Telerik.Web.UI.RadToolTipController.getInstance();   
            var tooltip = controller.get_activeToolTip();     
            if(tooltip) 
             tooltip.hide();   
              
             return false; 
        }  

    Thanks
    Princy.

    Hi guys,

    Basically, the syntax you use is correct but getting the reference to the active tooltip in this manner is now obsolete. The new syntax do not need to get teh controller but to simplyt use the static getCurrent method as shown below:

    function CloseToolTip()         
        {             
        
            var tooltip = Telerik.Web.UI.RadToolTip.getCurrent();    
            if(tooltip)   
            {   
              tooltip.hide();     
            }   
        }

    I am having problems getting ManualClose to work. I see the DIV in the right place, but no action is performed when clicking on it. No changes to the code have been made as it was working with the pre Q1 2009 version. Does something need to be added for the Q1 2009 version here?

    <telerik:radtooltip ID="RadToolTip1" runat="server" Skin="Web20"
                TargetControlID="AnnualReportsTip" Position="TopCenter" ShowEvent="OnClick"
                HideEvent=ManualClose>
                <uc1:AnnualReports ID="AnnualReports1" runat="server" />
            </telerik:radtooltip>
           <asp:HyperLink CssClass="newsLink" ID="AnnualReportsTip" NavigateUrl="/text.aspx" Target="_blank" runat="server">Click here to view selected highlights</asp:HyperLink>

    Hello guys,

    Chamira, I am glad I could help in your implementation.

    James, I built up a test demo page based on your code but unfortumately I was not able to reproduce the issue - the tooltip hides as expected when I click on the manual close button. I tested the page with both Q1 and Q2 2009 and under IE8 as noted but everything worked as expected.

    I attached my tets page to teh thread for your reference, please examine it and let me know if I am missing something and what should I do to reproduce the problem. Once I have a better understanding on the issue I will do my best to help.

    Sincerely yours,

    Here is the page that demonsrates the problem. Click on "Click here to view selected highlights" just under the main image. The Tooltip close button does not work.

    Thank you.

    - James.

    Hello James,

    I examined the provided live url and I was able to reproduce the problem. However, I am afraid that examining the issue online is not enough to find the exact reason for the issue. That is why I would like to kindly ask you to modify the test page I last sent you in order to reproduce the problem and share all the needed source here so that I will be able to directly create a reproduction demo and analyze it on my side. While you are isolating the issue in my test demo, I suggest to disable ajax in your original application and in case this fixes the issue, just replicate the same ajax settings to the test page.

    Once I am able to reproduce and investigate the problem locally I will do my best to help.

    Sincerely yours,
    Svetlina

    Hi Peter,

    I am sorry to see that you didn't like the answer that Svetlina provided, but please note that it was the best that we could give at this time. The code that James sent was working as expected and should not cause a problem as the one that he reported. The beta site in question was quite complex and just by checking the behavior and examining the HTML dump we were not able to pinpoint the reason for the problem.
    That is why Svetlina asked for additional details and attached a small sample to this thread which James could check and tell what are the differences between it and his exact setup and logic. We, however haven't received reply from him.

    If you experience the same problem, please provide more information about the exact setup and if possible, please rework Svetlina's sample page so it reproduces the problem and send it back to us - we will check it right away and do our best to help.


    All the best,
