And the third scenario is when web developers want to add tooltips with dynamic text content, which are obtained from the server. You can also use the AjaxUpdate event to populate tooltips with content from server at run time.

ToolTip Manager also provides a ToolTip target control collection, which includes a complete list of IDs for all the server controls that a tooltip need to be added to. Without user specification, the ToolTip Manager will take it that all the included IDs are actually server ID for corresponding target controls. However, if this is not the case, like some IDs are actually client side, you can specify that by setting true to the IsClientID property.

This can be achieved declaratively on the target web page, or you can do this in the code behind, since we have provided you with complete Visual C# as well as Visual Basic .NET sample codes in the demo page.

ToolTip Manager for Kettic ToolTip UI control for ASP.NET AJAX allows web developers to load tooltip content on demand. Right now we provide two kinds of methods to achieve that.

The first method is for you to load the required content with ASP.NET AJAX. Users can easily configure the OnAjaxUpdate event so that once a user moves the mouse over a target element, corresponding tooltips shall appear. This event is extremely useful when the tooltip content / text comes from the server or database.

Alternatively, web programmers can do this by loading your tooltip content through web service. Using this method, every time a tooltip that is controlled by ToolTip Manage need to display, a call to the web service is made. You can set the path and name for the web service through the WebServiceSettings.

Last but not least, ToolTip Manager provides perfect integration into AJAX UpdatePanels. If the UpdatePanel has played a part for a certain AJAX request, web developers can be free to update the target control collection correspondingly.
