Custom Cell Buttons

Hello,

Right now I am working on a grid that has 4 different buttons. These buttons are distinctly different images with a normal state image and a mousedown image. I have looked at the various samples and it looks like if I want to use and image for a button, I have to create a renderer. Is there a simpler way of doing this? The way I am interpreting this is I have to create separate renderers for each of the 4 buttons. The way the renderer is currently created is not conducive to a factory pattern.

Any help I can get is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
DVD

You can have a single CellModel/CellRenderer that can display differing bitmaps from cell to cell. You can pass in the bitmaps through the style.ChoiceList. Here is a little sample showing one way to do this.

Currently this is working great. Syncfusion is always helpful with your products now I need to take this to the next level.

Right now I have a custom cell buttons with 4 buttons each and all is working great. Now with those buttons within that custom cell with 4 buttons, I want to display a SuperToolTip on each individual button on hover. I have tried tapping in to the Draw override but that doesn't always fire on the HoverChange. I know there has to be a way to do this and I am trying to tap in to the HoverChanged event in the cell renderer but that is not working either.

I know there is something I can tap in to because I can see it change the hovering on each button.

Thanks in advance for your help.
