[Solved] Tooltip on sub-items of a RadToolBarSplitButton

[Gunnar]

Hi!

Is it possible to set tooltips on sub-items of a RadToolBarSplitButton?

The following pseudo-code doesn't seem to work, there's no tooltip on the added button:

var btn = new Telerik.Web.UI.RadToolBarButton();
btn.set_value(navItem.ID);
btn.set_text(' My Text');
btn.set_toolTip('My Tooltip');
splitButton.get_buttons().add(btn);

Regards

Hello Gunnar,

Normally, you should be able to use the ToolTip property of the toolbar button. For example:

 <telerik:RadToolBar ID="RadToolBar1" Runat="server">
        <Items>
            <telerik:RadToolBarButton runat="server" Text="Button 0">
            </telerik:RadToolBarButton>
            <telerik:RadToolBarSplitButton runat="server" Text="SplitButton 0">
                <Buttons>
                    <telerik:RadToolBarButton runat="server" ToolTip="button 1 tooltip" Text="Child Button 1">
                    </telerik:RadToolBarButton>
                    <telerik:RadToolBarButton runat="server" ToolTip="button 2 tooltip"  Text="Child Button 2">
                    </telerik:RadToolBarButton>
                    <telerik:RadToolBarButton runat="server" ToolTip="button 3 tooltip"  Text="Child Button 3">
                    </telerik:RadToolBarButton>
                </Buttons>
            </telerik:RadToolBarSplitButton>
        </Items>
</telerik:RadToolBar>

However, we discovered a problem with RadToolbar in this case - the split button will always display the tooltip for the first button, no matter which button is actually selected. I have logged this issue and we will try to resolve it as soon as possible.

Thanks for the answer.

This raises another question;
Is it possible to display tooltip when hovering buttons of a RadToolBarSplitButton?
When clicking the RadToolBarSplitButton a dropdown is displayed and I want to show a tooltips for each of the items that I hover in the dropdown.

Hope you understand my needs.

Hello Gunnar,

Currently it is possible - please see the attached screenshot for more details. The only problem is when the drop down is closed, the displayed tooltip is always the tooltip of the first button.
