how to set a callout size to autosize to fit its content where it holds a radlabel control with wraptext mode once it is used as a tooltip?

Hi, Atfat,

I would like to note that the size of RadCallout depends on the size of the AssociatedControl. If you have a UserControl with fixed size and it contains multiple other controls to achieve the desired look, the RadCallout will be sized to fit the UserControl. If you want to shrink or enlarge the callout, feel free to adjust the size of the AssociatedControl accordingly.

As to the label, you can also specify size which is expected to take effect when the AutoSize property is disabled. Thus, the text can be forced to :

        RadCallout callout;
        RadLabel label;
        public RadForm1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            this.radGridView1.Columns.Add("Id");
            this.radGridView1.Columns.Add("Name");
            for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
            {
                this.radGridView1.Rows.Add(i, Guid.NewGuid().ToString());
            }
            this.radGridView1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;
             

            label = new RadLabel();
            label.TextWrap = true;
            label.AutoSize = false;
            label.Size = new Size(50, 100);
            label.Text = "Telerik";
            callout = new RadCallout();
            callout.AssociatedControl = label;  
        }
