    Hello!
    Look, I have a user control that works as a ToolBar that has some radbuttons on it. Those buttons are showing an image stored in the resources of the project, and I need to show a ToolTipText.

    First I set the needed text through the properties window of each button (inside the RootElement property), and it didn't work.

    Then I went to the designer.cs of the control and set manually the property (myButton.RootElement.ToolTipText = "some text"), and it didn't work.

    Then, inside the designer.cs of the control I set manually the property in this way: ((Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadButtonElement)(MyButton.GetChildAt(0))).ToolTipText = "Open Model";. And guess what? ... It didn't work also!

    Please help me, I don't know what else I can do.

    Hi Juan Pablo,

    Currently, we have an issue with the ToolTipText property serialization. This issue will be addressed in one of our next versions.

    Regarding your approach, if you manually insert a code line for this property in the designer and make even a small change in the user control, this line will be automatically removed.

    Therefore, I would suggest setting the ToolTipText property in the user control's constructor:

    public UserControl1()  
    {  
        InitializeComponent();  
     
        this.radButton1.ButtonElement.ToolTipText = "Open Model";  
    } 

    I hope this helps. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.

    Regards,
