WebForms ToolTip Overview

Both RadTooltip and RadTooltipManager can display rich content (including user controls and other ASP.NET controls), as well as AJAX-generated content. RadToolTip is meant to "tooltipify" a single element while RadToolTipManger should be used in scenarios where many elements would require a tooltip. For more information on RadTooltipManager, see the [RadToolTipManager Overview]({%slug tooltip/radtooltipmanager/overview%}) topic.

Key Features

The two most common RadToolTip properties are:

• [TargetControlID]({%slug tooltip/radtooltip/using-the-targetcontrolid-property%}): the ID of the control for which the tooltip should appear on the client

• [IsClientID]({%slug tooltip/radtooltip/using-the-targetcontrolid-property%}): True if the TargetControlID is a client id.
