I have a scenario where I need to display tooltip within a tooltip. I'll try to describe the scenario below.
- I have a aspx page with a RadGrid.
- The grid has a Template Column with a button. On Click of the button a RadToolTip is displayed.
- The RadToolTip host a usercontrol, with a "textbox" and a "search" button on it.
- On Click of the "search" button, I need to open another tooltip with a usercontrol loaded in it.. I do some search operation on this tooltip(usercontrol) and when I click on "Assign", I need to assign the values from this tooltip to the parent tooltip and this tooltip should be closed.
It's like displaying a "popup" over a popup kind of scenario. Is this possible with RadToolTip? Any input in this direction is appreciated?
Thanks.

Hi Rajesh,
Only a single tooltip might be visible at any given time and in your case when you show the second tooltip, the first will automatically close. This behavior is by design and will not be changed as changing it would defy the purpose of the control.
The purpose of a tooltip is to provide additional information for a given element. It is not meant to be used as a popup control. For this purpose we provide RadWindow and RadDock controls. Both of these controls allow more than one visible element of the kind on the page.
Our suggestion is to consider using RadWindow which will be helpful in your scenario - you can examine its demos below:

Hi Svetlina ,
I was aware of this, but just needed the confirmation whether this was possible or not as we had a situation where RadWindow is not recommended in our environment(not sure exactly why).
I'll recommend RadWindow/RadDoc based on your suggestion. Thanks a ton.

Rajesh
