Hi Eddy, 
  
Thank you for using syncfusion products. 
  
The ScheduleControl have support to change the Subject, BorderColor, CategoryBackColor, ShowTimeColor through ShowingAdvancedToolTip  event. If you want to customize the Tooltip layourt, we suggest you that to show your custom form when the advanced tooltip is showing and make sure to cancel the actions from the same event. Please refer the code snippet. 
  
Code snippet 




//Event subscription  
scheduleControl1.GetScheduleHost().ShowingAdvancedToolTip += Form1_ShowingAdvancedToolTip; 
  
//Event customization 
private void Form1_ShowingAdvancedToolTip(object sender, ScheduleGrid.ShowingAdvancedTooltipEventArgs e) 
        { 
            e.Cancel = true; 
            //Show your custom Tooltip 
        } 
  
 
 
Please get back to us if you need any other assistance.

Hi !I didn't see the expected sample... In the Form1_ShowingAdvancedToolTip(object sender, ScheduleGrid.ShowingAdvancedTooltipEventArgs e) method, I can't see how to retrieve the appointment information that is hovered (IScheduleAppointment object) from the 'sender' or 'e' parameter. Help for this will be appreciated.

            e.BorderColor = Color.Gray;

Thank you Balamuruga, but that's not what I need, I think I didn't manage to make my question clear...

I need to customize the tooltip with information from data stored in the IScheduleAppointment instance that is related to the hovered item. With the ShowingAdvancedToolTip event, I can cutomize the aspect but can't find the way to retrieve the information I want to display in the tooltip (from the appointment object). Is there a way for this in this context ?

Hope the demand is well-understandable.
