Hi,

Which property is used to display ToolTip for column header in GridGroupingControl?

Look at the CellTipText property.

Hi Sharff,

You can handle the QueryCellStyleInfo event to display column header tooltip in a grid. Here is the code snippet:

this.gdBase.QueryCellStyleInfo += new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.Grouping.GridTableCellStyleInfoEventHandler(this.gdBase_QueryCellStyleInfo);
private void gdBase_QueryCellStyleInfo(object sender,Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.Grouping.GridTableCellStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
//setup column header tooltip
if( e.TableCellIdentity.TableCellType == GridTableCellType.ColumnHeaderCell)
e.Style.CellTipText = e.TableCellIdentity.Column.MappingName;
}

Here is a forum thread that show the Abbreviated Header cell tooltip text in a grid.

Thanks Haneef.

But this is quite difficult in my case.

Is there any way to assign tooltip text to the column, when column is added to either TableDescriptor.Columns collection or TableDescriptor.VisibleColumns collection?

Thanks,
Vinod

Hi Vinod,

You can handle the VisibleColumns.Changed event and set the CellTipText property of the newly added column in a grid. Here is a code snippet

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.VisibleColumns.Changed +=new Syncfusion.Collections.ListPropertyChangedEventHandler(VisibleColumns_Changed);

private void VisibleColumns_Changed(object sender, Syncfusion.Collections.ListPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
if( e.Action == Syncfusion.Collections.ListPropertyChangedType.Add )
{
GridVisibleColumnDescriptor gvd = e.Item as GridVisibleColumnDescriptor;
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns.Add(gvd.Name);
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns[gvd.Name].Appearance.ColumnHeaderCell.CellTipText = "\"welcome\"";
}
}

Best regards,
Haneef
