ASPxPopupControl - Implementing as tooltip

created 10 years ago

HI,

Is there a way to make the ASPxPopup act as a Tooltip?

I've already implemented a pseudo-tooltip using the ASPxPopupControl which is shown on a 'mouse move' event.  It works pretty well as when the user points to a particular item in the window - in this case a THREE.JS canvas - some information appears.  The popup appears exactly where it should provided the user arrives at a particular area on the screen coming from the right or bottom.  As the user moves in this direction, I have it so that the ShowWindowAtPos() method updates the position.

Here's the problem … When the user moves from the top or from the left, the pointer is now over the ASPxPopup and so does not now move with the pointer.  Also, the 'mouse move' event is not fired since (understandable) the pointer is now over the ASPxPopup.

Is there a way that the ASPxPopup can be made to 'follow' the pointer so that the top left corner is always at the tip of the pointer?

Best,

Alex.

Hi,

Thank you for such a detailed description. Yes, you handle the onmousemove event at the window object level and check the event's target object. If this is not a top-level object (e.g., HTML, FORM), display the popup control at the current mouse location. Attached is a corresponding code example. I hope this information helps.

Thanks,
Alessandro.
