Tooltips Overview

Tooltips are added since Telerik Reporting R1 2017. The feature allows you add custom text and title of a box displayed on hover of an element in a Telerik Report. All report viewers provide support for displaying tooltips in a report viewer’s native rendering technology. Tooltips are supported also in PDF files.

Settings in Reports

Each Report section and item has a Tooltip property where you can configure the Text you want to appear on hover. You can also specify a Title for the tooltip's box.

The Series collection of the Graph item also has support for tooltips.

Settings in Viewers

The HTML5-based Report Viewers, WinForms ReportViewer and WPF ReportViewer controls have ToolTipOpening events. In those events you can modify tooltips content:

If you use the HTML5 Viewer, the new Tooltips functionality requires additional Kendo UI dependency. This dependency is included in the Kendo UI subset bundle provided by Telerik Reporting - telerikReportViewer.kendo-2022.3.913.min.js.
If you use a custom set of Kendo UI widgets, you can load kendo.tooltip.min.js of your version (2022.3.913+) of Kendo UI.
