Hi,

I want do create a balloon-style language chooser (something like these balloons: http://www.beauscott.com/examples/help_balloons/doc/examples.php).
When the user clicks a LinkButton un the top right corner of the page
the ballon shall open and present all available languages.

Is RadWindow the compnent of choice for this? If yes, how can I get the
tip which points at the LinkButton when the window is open?

Best regards,
Robert

Hello Robert,

I think you will implement this functionality easier if you are using RadToolTip. Unlike RadToolTip, RadWindow's content is a separate page, different from the main one.

Hi Tunev,

thank you for that hint. Using RadTooltip almost solves my problem. There are only
two things that don't work as expected:

1.
The small tip which points to the control the tooltop belongs to is not drawn

2.
When I click on one of the bottons inside the tooltip my masterpages' Page_Load() method is invoked. This is very undesireable. What could be the reason for that?

This is how my tooltip is created:
<telerik:RadToolTip ID="RadToolTip1" runat="server" 
            TargetControlID="lanSel" Animation="Resize" Position="BottomLeft" 
            ShowEvent="OnClick" AutoCloseDelay="0" ShowDelay="0">
           
            <table id="languageChooserTable" cellspacing="5px">
                <tr class="languageChooserTableCell">
                    <td class="languageChooserTableRow" style="background-color: Transparent;">
                        <asp:ImageButton ID="LangButtonDE" runat="server"
                            ImageUrl="../Resources/img/germany-small.png" 
                            onclick="LangButtonDE_Click" />
                    </td>
                    <td style="background-color: Transparent">
                        <asp:ImageButton ID="LangButtonPL" runat="server"
                            ImageUrl="../Resources/img/poland-small.png" 
                            onclick="LangButtonPL_Click" />
                    </td>
                    <td style="background-color: Transparent">
                        <asp:ImageButton ID="LangButtonRU" runat="server"
                            ImageUrl="../Resources/img/russia-small.png" 
                            onclick="LangButtonRU_Click" />
                    </td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        </telerik:RadToolTip>
