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. Stefan

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.. >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. > >Stefan

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.
