    Hello,

    I am using a map with 2 layers 

    Dim layer As New MapLayer("Site")
    layer.ClusterStrategy = New ElementClusterStrategy()
    layer.ClusterDistance = 50
    Me.RadMap1.Layers.Add(layer)
    Me.RadMap1.Layers.Add(New MapLayer("Base départ"))

    And i add elements to the map like this

    Dim element As New MapPin(siteInfo.Location)
    element.Text = String.Format("{0}" & vbCrLf & "{1}", siteInfo.Name, siteInfo.adresse)
    element.BackColor = Me.colors(siteInfo.identifieur)
    element.Tag = siteInfo
    element.ToolTipText = String.Format("{0}" & vbCrLf & "{1}", siteInfo.Name, siteInfo.adresse)
    Me.RadMap1.Layers(siteInfo.identifieur).Add(element)

     

    In this setup, tooltiptext works on pins contained on layer without cluster, but they don't on the one with cluster.

    Can you tell me how can i use ToolTipText with cluster ?

     

    Thank you

    Hi Perico,

    Thank you for writing.

    The reported behavior is an issue and I have logged it on our feedback portal, here: https://feedback.telerik.com/Project/154/Feedback/Details/230060-fix-radmap-using-clusters-in-radmap-breaks-the-tooltips-added-to-mappins. I have also updated your Telerik points. Additionally, you can subscribe to the issue and be updated with its status changes. The issue is already in development and a fix will be included in the R1 2018 release.

    Until then you can use the workaround below and handle the ToolTipTextNeeded event: 
    public partial class Form3 : Form
    {
        public Form3()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
     
            MapLayer pointLayer = new MapLayer("PointG");
            pointLayer.ClusterStrategy = new ElementClusterStrategy();
            pointLayer.ClusterDistance = 100;
            this.radMap1.Layers.Add(pointLayer);
     
            MapPin pin1 = new MapPin(new PointG(45d, 15d)) { BackColor = Color.Coral, ToolTipText = "Tool Tip1" };
            MapPin pin2 = new MapPin(new PointG(44d, 18d)) { BackColor = Color.Coral, ToolTipText = "Tool Tip2" };
            this.radMap1.Layers["PointG"].Add(pin1);
            this.radMap1.Layers["PointG"].Add(pin2);
     
            this.SetupProviders();
     
            this.radMap1.ToolTipTextNeeded += radMap1_ToolTipTextNeeded;
        }
     
        private void radMap1_ToolTipTextNeeded(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.ToolTipTextNeededEventArgs e)
        {
            MapCluster cluster = sender as MapCluster;
            if (cluster != null && cluster.ClusteredItems.Count == 1)
            {
                cluster.ToolTipText = ((MapPin)cluster.ClusteredItems[0]).ToolTipText;
            }
        }
     
        private void SetupProviders()
        {
            string cacheFolder = @"..\..\cache";
            BingRestMapProvider bingProvider = new BingRestMapProvider();
            bingProvider.Culture = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;
            bingProvider.ImagerySet = ImagerySet.Road;
            bingProvider.UseSession = true;
            bingProvider.BingKey = "...";
     
            LocalFileCacheProvider cache = new LocalFileCacheProvider(cacheFolder);
            bingProvider.CacheProvider = cache;
     
            this.radMap1.MapElement.Providers.Add(bingProvider);
     
            bingProvider.InitializationComplete += bingProvider_InitializationComplete;
        }
     
        private void bingProvider_InitializationComplete(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.radMap1.BringIntoView(new PointG(45d, 15d), 5);
        }
     
    }

    I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need further assistance.
