Hi,

Is it possible to set a tooltip for a cell?

Hi Sebastian,

I'll prepare a sample for this over the weekend and will post a solution here.

Attached find a sample.

Please note that I only tested it under Windows XP and it uses PInvoke to acces the ToolTip Common Control.

The tooltip text for a cell is specified with the GridStyleInfo.Description property.

Hi,

I am doing the same thing in VB.NET.. The tooltip shows but it is only of junk characters.. any idea of what mistake I could have done??

Thanks in advance..

Hi Gayathri, Here is a VB.Net sample. Regards, Calvin.

Hi Calvin, I am getting a compilation error saying that Controltooltip is not accessible as it is private in the solution you had given... I am using Syncfusion version 1.6 .. Is that anything to do with it? any other fix for this problem? Thanks.. >Hi Gayathri, > >Here is a VB.Net sample. > >Regards, >Calvin. >

Here is another sample that just uses a Windows Forms ToopTip object to manage this task. I think techniques should work OK with 1.6, but I did not try it with that version. In later versions, there is a simple GridStyleInfo.CellTipText property you can set for a cell to get a tip.

Thanks a ton! It works fine. >Here is another sample that just uses a Windows Forms ToopTip object to manage this task.
