problem with selecting cells

[jacky chen]

i have a customised cell model

public class ToolTipStaticCellModel : GridStaticCellModel

in which i only override the

public override GridCellRendererBase CreateRenderer(GridControlBase control)
{
return new ToolTipStaticCellRenderer(ContainingGrid,control, this);
}

and in my customised renderer, i override

protected override int OnHitTest(int rowIndex, int colIndex, MouseEventArgs e, IMouseController controller)
{
if (controller != null && controller.Name == "SelectCells")
return GridHitTestContext.Cell;

return base.OnHitTest(rowIndex,colIndex,e,controller);
}

so that i can handle the mouse events and display a tool tip for the cells

this works fine except when i try to hold down the mouse and select multiple cells, it doesn''t let me select

is there an easy way around this?

thanks in advance!

Can you not use the build-in support for CellTips, setting the style.CellTipText property?

thanks Clay

but the version i have doesn''t seem to have such support
i got version 1.5.2.0

Here is a KB link that shows how you might use the Windows Forms ToolTip to show cell tips. It should work in 1.5.2 without deriving a cell control.
