ToolTip use with StackedHeaders

[Jeremy]

My initial SfDataGrid had ToolTips assigned to each HeaderRow cell and these were displayed correctly using the grid's ToolTipOpening event for RowIndex 0. I've now added a StackedHeader row and without any further changes the ToolTips revert to displaying the column name, rather than the text I specified. I found that by adding the StackedHeader row, the HeaderRow now has a RowIndex = 1. Therefore, changing the code in the ToolTipOpening event to reference RowIndex 1 the correct ToolTips are again being displayed (these are now the child columns). However, I don't seem to be able to set up ToolTips for the StackedHeader row (which may or may not be RowIndex 0 (?)). When positioning the mouse cursor over this upper portion of the StackedHeader, the ToolTipOpening event doesn't trigger. So, is there a way to display ToolTips for this element?

Hi Jeremy, 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support.  

SfDataGrid doesn’t have support to show tooltip for stacked headers. However you can achieve this requirement by using our SfToolTip as shown in the following code example.  

Code example : 

this.sfDataGrid1.TableControl.MouseMove += OnTableControl_MouseMove; 

 

RowColumnIndex hoveredRowcolumnIndex = new RowColumnIndex(-1, -1); 

SfToolTip Tooltip = new SfToolTip(); 

 

private void OnTableControl_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) 

{ 

    var rowColumnIndex = this.sfDataGrid1.TableControl.PointToCellRowColumnIndex(e.Location, true); 

    if(hoveredRowcolumnIndex != rowColumnIndex && rowColumnIndex.RowIndex == 0) 

    { 

        Tooltip.Hide(); 

        if (rowColumnIndex.ColumnIndex == 0) 

            Tooltip.Show("StackedHeaderCell 1"); 

        if (rowColumnIndex.ColumnIndex == 1) 

            Tooltip.Show("StackedHeaderCell 2"); 

        hoveredRowcolumnIndex = rowColumnIndex; 

    } 

}
