Hi Namita,

Thank you for your interest in syncfusion products.

Yes, you can achieve you requirement by setting the tooltip to true as like in the following code. And also you should enable the tooltip in XAML file as like in the following code.


Code Snippet [XAML]:

syncfusion:GridTooltipService.ShowTooltips="True"


Code Snippet[C#]:

void Model_QueryCellInfo(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Controls.Grid.GridQueryCellInfoEventArgs e)
{
var identity = ((GridDataStyleInfo)e.Style).CellIdentity;
if (identity == null || identity.Column == null)
return;
if (identity.TableCellType == GridDataTableCellType.RecordCell)
{
e.Style.ShowTooltip = true; // If we set like this by default the tooltip will show the cell values.

}
}

Also we have prepared a sample based on this and please find the sample under the following location.

Hi,

How to set the tooltip value other than the default value cell value. Say i want to bind to 'Description' property?

Hi Selva,

Thank you for your interest in syncfusion products. Yes, you can set your own tooltip value by using custom tooltip. To use the tooltip you should enable the tooltip in XAML code as follows,

Code Snippet [XAML]:
syncfusion:GridTooltipService.ShowTooltips="True"

By using QueryCellInfoCommand you can set the custom tooltip value as follows,
Code Snippet[C#]:

void QueryCellInfoEventCommandMethod(object parameter)
{
var args = parameter as GridQueryCellInfoEventArgs;
if (args != null)
{
var tableStyleIdentity = ((GridDataStyleInfo)args.Style).CellIdentity;
var identity = ((GridDataStyleInfo)args.Style).CellIdentity;
if (identity == null || identity.Column == null)
return;
if (identity.TableCellType == GridDataTableCellType.RecordCell)
{
args.Style.ShowTooltip = true;
args.Style.TooltipTemplateKey = "myTooltipTemplate";
}
}
}


Also we have prepared a sample based on this and please find the sample from attachment.

Another way is you can set the customer details to ToolTip by handling QueryCellInfo event or command.

Please let us know if this helps.
