Keep showing the tooltips in telerik's radgrid

Question

I have a radgrid that displays some (normal) tooltips for headers and cell content.

Take for example the header tooltip for this column:

<telerik:GridBoundColumn 
            HeaderText="<%$ Resources:IFW_Global, FamilyName  %>" HeaderTooltip="<%$ Resources:IFW_Global, FamilyNameTtip  %>" UniqueName="column" 
            AllowFiltering="False" DataField="LastName"
</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

And a data cell tooltip, set in code behind:

Dim item As GridDataItem = CType(e.Item, GridDataItem)
item("DocumentTypeCode").ToolTip = "customdoctooltip"

The tooltips stays visible for only about 5 seconds on mouseover and then it dissapears.

I want all the tooltips to remain visible onmouseover without dissapearing. How would I do this? I'm looking for a simple solution.

Answer 1

I've solved this by adding this RadToolTipManager to my masterpage:

<telerik:RadToolTipManager ID="RadToolTipManager1" runat="server" Position="BottomRight" AutoTooltipify="true" AutoCloseDelay="0" OffsetY="10">
</telerik:RadToolTipManager>

AutoTooltipify="true" converts the standard tooltips to radTooltips. AutoCloseDelay="0" gets me the behaviour that I want.

Answer 2

here is some information. I used to use Telerik a ton and I went straight to their forums when I had a question. They are quick to answer. I just searched your question on Telerik and found this:

you can set the AutoCloseDelay property to 0 which will prevent the tooltip from hiding after an interval.
