    Hi,

    first of all I like to state that I am very impressed with the controls like a lot of people using them I find them to be the best.

    Now to the matter in hand,

    I was wondering if there is a way to display the validation errors(messages) in a form a tooltip.
    Secondly if there is way the validationsummary can be added as a tooltip?

    Thank you very much

    Hello Chris,

    Yes, it is possible to use a RadToolTip for displaying a ValidationSummary.  In order to achieve this you must go through the following steps:

    1. Add a ValidationSummary object to your RadToolTip.
    2. Write a javascript function to check the validity (the easiest way to do this is by checking the display of the ValidationSummary object - if it is "none", there are not invalid values) and cancel the RadToolTip pop-up if everything is correct.
    3. Initialize the "OnClientBeforeShow" property of the ToolTip with this function.

    A demonstration of this approach can be found  here.

    Hello John G,

     Yes, you can achieve this by using standard javascript - in the OnClientShow event of the RadToolTip reference the textboxes and change their color, e.g as shown below:

    $get("TextBox1").style.borderColor = "Red";
