Greetings Telerik,

I just tried to add a tooltip-text to a RadButton (image only), but i don't see any property for this. I assumed there's this possibility since there is a property named "ShowItemToolTips" (which is set to yes).

Is this a bug or doesn't it exist?

Many thanks,
Daniel

Hi Brummi,
In RadButton you have a property named RadButtonElement ButtonElement. Through this property you access the internal element that is used to render the button, and it is a descendant of RadItem. Every RadItem has the property ToolTipText, so basically you can set it like:

MyButton.ButtonElement.ToolTipText = "MyButton"

Hi Mohammed,

Thank you for writing.

The behavior is still the same - just set the ToolTipText property of the ButtonElement, and when you hover the button, the tool tip will be shown:

radButton1.ButtonElement.ToolTipText = "hello";

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Stefan
