[Solved] Tooltip in RadGrid

[Tony Deo]

Hi, I have a tooltip in a templated column within my radgrid.  I am trying to programmatically change the text on the tooltip depending upon a session variable.

However, I cannot seem to find the tooltip when I call it up in code.

Can anyone help.

I have posted my code.

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="TemplateColumn">
            <EditItemTemplate>
                <asp:Button runat="server" CommandName="Update" Text="Update" />
                &nbsp;<asp:Button runat="server" CausesValidation="false" CommandName="Cancel"
                    Text="Cancel" />
            </EditItemTemplate>
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:ImageButton ID="ibPrint" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/Images/print2.jpg"
                    CausesValidation="false" CommandName="Edit" BackColor="White" />
                <telerik:RadToolTip ID="ttibPrint" runat="server" TargetControlID="ibPrint" Text="print"> </telerik:RadToolTip>
            </ItemTemplate>
            <ItemStyle BackColor="White" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
        </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

 If Session("UserCulture") = 2 Then
            If TypeOf e.Item Is GridDataItem Then
                Dim item As GridDataItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridDataItem)
                Dim editBtn1 As RadToolTip = TryCast(item("TemplateColumn1").Controls(1), RadToolTip)
                Dim editBtn3 As RadToolTip = TryCast(item("TemplateColumn").Controls(1), RadToolTip)
                editBtn1.Text = "视图采购申请"
                editBtn3.Text = "打印"
            End If
        End If

Hi Tony Deo,

Since the grid item is an Inaming Conatiner you should use it as such and find the tooltip by uisng the FindControl method in similar manner as this:

item.FindControl("ttibPrint")

Note, also that you do not need the GridDataItem, but you should use the following condition:

If e.Item.ItemType = GridItemType.Item OrElse e.Item.ItemType = GridItemType.AlternatingItem

All the best,
