Hi,

I have a page that uses RadToolTipManager to display a tooltip for several elements in the page.  The tooltip contains 3 controls, a textbox, a label, and a button.  The textbox and the label text are populated dynamically.

Everything is working correctly, however, it appears that controls render horizontally when added to the controls collection.  Also, looking through all the documentation and examples, it appears that in every case, content is rendering from left to right.

I need to have these 3 controls stacked on top of each other, with textbox on top, label under the textbox, and the button on the bottom.

Is there a way to handle the positioning of these controls?

Thanks!

Hi Coy,

The layout of the tooltip's content is not related to the RadToolTip control but to general ASP.NET and CSS knowledge. Please, implement the desired layout by using a standard asp: panel and after that either apply the same logic to the tooltip or simply show the styled panel inside it.

Hi Svetlina,

Thanks for clearing that up!

I actually found that I could use a textbox control with No border instead of a Label control, and the textbox was positioned under the textbox as expected.

I experienced some problems with using the Label control that should be noted.  First, the positioning of the Label control would always render to the right of the control it was next to in the collection.  Second, I would update the Text property of the label control in the Ajax_Update event and readd it to the controls collection, however, in the UI, the label text remained unchanged.  After debugging, the label text was indeed being changed but the changes were never reflected in the UI.  By changing the control to a textbox with no border, updating and adding it to the controls collection exactly the same way, the text property of the textbox was updated correctly in the UI.

Thanks for the help again,

Coy
