RadToolTipManager + User Control within User Control

[Kaushal]

Hi,

I have some complicated scenario over here. I have one User control with one button, on click of this button modal popup is open up.
I need electives from below:

* Can same Panel control (Within modal popup) open in radtooltip? 

OR

* If I will make new user control and call this new user control as tooltip on parent user control's button?

Thanks,

Kaushal Jani

Hi Kaushal,

The answer to your question depends on the current functionality you are using. As a quick answer - I believe placing your content in a user control will work out easily, yet please read through this post for several alternatives - the options for loading content in the RadToolTip or RadToolTipManager as I believe it will allow you to choose the scenario that best fits your needs:

1) RadToolTip holds static content which you can place directly between its opening and closing tag. Thus if there isn't too much content you want to show in it you can simply move it so. This is explained in this help article: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/tooltip-content.html. As you can see you can do this declaratively, or from the code-behind

2) The RadToolTipManager loads its content when needed via an AJAX request. This is usually done by putting your content in a user control, as this is the simplest way - you just add code for one control. This is explained in this article: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/tooltipmanager-ajaxupdate.html.

You can also examine the online demos for the RadToolTIp to see the functionality of the control. I believe this one shows the difference between the two approaches clearly.

A third, more complex option is to add an empty iframe in the RadToolTip and use the OnClientShow  event to change its src to the page you were previously loading. You could also add a global JS variable to use as flag so that you do not reload the content each time.
