The ASP.NET Capsule #8: New video on Telerik’s RadGrid + RadToolTip Manager

Hi all.

Check out my new video on using Telerik’s RadGrid.

By using the RadToolTipManager control we can provide our users with more information by just hovering above an item on the page. We are using the RadGrid object to show orders information and then showing the details of the order when you hover above the order number.

One of the things I didn’t mentioned in the video is that when the RadGrid in the tooltip gets too big you have to scroll the window down and then loose all the good experience. However, with RadGrid is very easy to avoid that (see the attached sample for one solution with the ASP.NET Panel).

Just modify the following settings in the User Control RadGrid to enable scrolling in the grid and not in the window:

ClientSetting –> AllowScroll = true
                        UseStaticHeaders = true
                        ScrollHeight = 250px

  • Buen video, aunque creo que es demasiadas lines de código para hacer un grid popup, yo hubiese metido el grid dentro de un modalpopup y con callback llenar el grid y mostrarlo en el evento click del lado del cliente del grid principal.

  • Gracias Gerson.

    Es una buena sugerencia. El caso es que es una forma diferente de hacerlo. Aca estoy mostrando como se hace con un tooltip que permite que el usuario final no haga click en el grid, que a veces es incomodo, y por otro lado falta un click en algo en el popup para cerrarlo, entonces es mucha interaccion. Este ejemplo es un poco mas fluido en su uso.

    Saludos.

  • as a developer i find videos to be an instant turn-off.

    i just want to see pictures, read code and check whether its worth my time.

    videos dont give that instant hit that a code junkie wants!

  • @Guy - Sometimes videos are not helpful but I tried an approach of showing how to do something useful and the code is attached to the post so that everybody can download it.

    Thanks for your comment.
