I'm wondering why the RadToolTip requires a ScriptManager on the start of a page.

I found out that just by dragging an asp:ScriptManager into my page, I'm adding around 277 kilobytes due to the ScriptResource javascript, css, and AXD files.

I don't want to place or use a ScriptManager, but I still want to use a powerful control like the RadToolTip.  Is there a way around this ?

Thanks.

Hi,

Prometheus controls suit, part of which is RadToolTip "Prometheus", is based on ASP.NET AJAX framework. ScriptManager is necessary for registering client scripts for Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX and Prometheus controls cannot work without adding the ScriptManager  on the page. More details about Prometheus controls suit you can find here.

Don't hesitate to contact us again if you have other questions.

But aren't the other Rad controls that are not part of "Prometheus" also based on ASP.NET AJAX .. (like RadAjaxPanel, RadTabstrip, RadRotator ..etc.) but they don't require a ScriptManager to perform client-side callbacks.

Can't I register the RadTooltip's script events using the conventional "ClientScript.RegisterXXXX" instead of "ScriptManager.RegisterXXXX" , somewhere from the code-behind?

Hello Str8Hate,

These controls are still not migrated to the "Prometheus" suite (this will happen in Q1 2008 in March) and they are still based on the ASP.NET  framework (not ASP.NET AJAX). Once they are migrated, all controls will require the ScriptManager to be present on the page.
For more information on the Prometheus suite, please check the link provided by Sophy. You may also find the following FAQ useful.
