Specifying Command ToolTips

The commands that appear in the title bar of a RadDock control display a tooltip when the user hovers the mouse over them:

By default, commands have the following built-in tooltips:

Command	Tooltip text
PinUnpin (when unpinned)	"Pin"
PinUnpin (when pinned)	"Unpin"
ExpandCollapse (when expanded)	"Collapse"
ExpandCollapse (when collapsed)	"Expand"
Close	"Close"
Custom Commands	"Custom"

You can easily override these tooltips, to localize the Web page, or simply to substitute your own strings. (For example, you probably want to change the default tooltip text for custom commands.)

To customize the tooltips for the built-in commands, use the following properties:

• The PinText property specifies the tooltip for the PinUnpin command when the RadDock control is unpinned.

• The UnpinText property specifies the tooltip for the PinUnpin command when the RadDock control is pinned.

• The CollapseText property specifies the tooltip for the ExpandCollapse command when the RadDock control is expanded.

• The ExpandText property specifies the tooltip for the ExpandCollapse command when the RadDock control is collapsed.

• The CloseText property specifies the tooltip for the Close command.

These properties are marked with the LocalizableAttribute and can be automatically localized by the .NET Framework if the application contains the proper resource strings. For more information about the integrated in the .NET Framework localization capabilities, see the following MSDN article: https://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms228208(VS.80).aspx

To customize the tooltips for custom commands, use the Text and AlternateText properties of the command object.

Example

The following example shows a RadDock control with customized tooltips:

ASP.NET

<telerik:RadDock
   ID="RadDock1"
   runat="server"
   OnClientCommand="HandleCommands"
   CollapseText="Minimize"
   ExpandText="Restore">
 <Commands>
    <telerik:DockCommand
        CssClass="DoSomethingClass"
        Name="DoSomething"
        Text="Do Something" />
    <telerik:DockExpandCollapseCommand />
    <telerik:DockCloseCommand />
 </Commands>
</telerik:RadDock>
