Tooltip disappears immediately

[Anders Mad.]

Hi, I'm showing a tooltip manually (ShowEvent="FromCode") using script on a focus event on an input type text element (hide on blur), but the tooltip disappears immediately.

I debugged the code and seems that the click event on the input element bubbles up to the (by tooltip) body on-click event that removes the tooltip if the mouse is not over the tooltip. The event order should be fixed or you should also test if the mouse is over target control (from set_TargetControl).

Thank you

Hi Anders,

I would rather suggest you try showing the tooltip after a small timeout using

window.setTimeout(function()
{
  //Show tooltip here
}, 100);

In this way you will "let" the event propagate up and then show the tooltip.

Hi,

Thank you, but I do at all times avoid starting a new thread to fix things – also there will be a delay and it might be too small.

I do this hack now on load:

// HACK - store original method
Telerik.Web.UI.RadToolTipControllerClass.prototype._hideOnBodyClickHACK = Telerik.Web.UI.RadToolTipControllerClass.prototype._hideOnBodyClick;
// Override
Telerik.Web.UI.RadToolTipControllerClass.prototype._hideOnBodyClick = function(e) {
    var activeToolTip = this._activeToolTip;
    if (activeToolTip != null && activeToolTip.get_TargetControl()) {
        // Check if activator element is clicked (could be done better using the event target / source element).
        if (activeToolTip._isMouseOverElement(e, activeToolTip.get_TargetControl()))
            return;
    }
    // Call original method
    Telerik.Web.UI.RadToolTipControllerClass.prototype._hideOnBodyClickHACK(e);
};
