Column Header Tooltip

HI,
We are using Grid Data Bound Grid.

The 'Column Headers' Should Contain the abbreviated column name. The full column name should be displayed as a 'tool tip' when the user place their pointer over the column Header.

Please resolve the problem ASAP.

Hi Tannearu,

Use the GridTextExtender.ShowHeaderToolTip property to show/hide the column header tooltip in a grid. And also you need to set the ExtendedText hashtable for displaying abbreviated column name in a grid. Here is a code snippet to show this.

m_oGridTextExtender.ShowHeaderToolTip = true;

Hashtable table = new Hashtable();
for(int i = 0;i < this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Model.ColCount;i++)
table.Add(i + 1,string.Format( "Column {0} is : {1}",i+1,"YourToolTipTextHere..."));
m_oGridTextExtender.ExtendedHeaderText = table;

Here is a sample.

Hi Tannearu,

Use this modified ToolTipExtGrid.GridTextExtender class to your application and let me know if this helps.

Hi Tannearu,

To show the Abbreviated Header cell tooltip text in a grid, you must set the ExtendedText property of the GridTextExtender. Here is a code snippet to show this.

m_oGridTextExtender.ShowHeaderToolTip = true;

Hashtable table = new Hashtable();

for(int i = 0;i < this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Model.ColCount;i++)
{
table.Add(i + 1," Yourabbreviated column nameHere...");
}

//you need to set the ExtendedHeaderText property for displaying the abbreviated column name.
m_oGridTextExtender.ExtendedHeaderText = table;

Please refer to the attached sample for implementation.
