Cell tooltip based on the value of a different cell

[Kannan Venkataramani]

Hi,

Searching the forums, came across this one, but the example leads me to a dead link.

http://www.syncfusion.com/support/forums/grouping%20-windows/20572/Setting-Cell-Tool-Tip-via-eInnerStyleCellTipText

I need to set the tooltip for each of the cells in a column based on the value of a different column.

this is what i tried and dosent seem to do the trick.

private void gridPending_TableControlPrepareViewStyleInfo( object sender, GridTableControlPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs e )
{
if ( e.Inner.ColIndex > 0 && e.Inner.RowIndex > 2 )
{
//if ( gridPending.TableModel[e.Inner.RowIndex, gridPending.TableModel.NameToColIndex( "AltLocRequired" )].CellValue.ToString().Trim() == "Y" )
//{
// gridPending.TableModel[e.Inner.RowIndex, gridPending.TableModel.NameToColIndex( "Approve" )].CellTipText = "Alternate Location required";
//}
}
}

Hi Kannan,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

Please try using below way in GridGroupingControl to show the Cell ToolTip based on another column value as shown below.

this.gridGroupingControl1.QueryCellStyleInfo += new GridTableCellStyleInfoEventHandler(gridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo);
void gridGroupingControl1_QueryCellStyleInfo(object sender, GridTableCellStyleInfoEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.TableCellIdentity.Column != null
                && e.TableCellIdentity.DisplayElement.Kind == DisplayElementKind.Record
                && e.TableCellIdentity.Column.Name == "Approve")
            {
                object val = e.TableCellIdentity.DisplayElement.GetRecord().GetValue("AltLocRequired");
                if (val != null && val.Equals("Y"))
                {
                    e.Style.CellTipText = "Alternate Location required";
                }
            }
        }       

Refer the simple sample from below link for your reference.

Hi Lingaraj,

Thanks for the help, my situation is a bit different, my grid is bound to a Dataset and the Dataset is updated by a backend EMS data provider, and its updated as and when trades come in.

So the querycellinfo dosent seem to fire on such occasions, so is there any other way to set the tooltip.

Hi Kannan,

Thank you for the update.

Try using Refresh method in SourceListListChanged event to fire the QueryCellInfo event while updaing datasource as shown below.

this.gridGroupingControl1.SourceListListChanged += new TableListChangedEventHandler(gridGroupingControl1_SourceListListChanged);
void gridGroupingControl1_SourceListListChanged(object sender, TableListChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            this.gridGroupingControl1.Refresh();
        }

Please let me know if you have any queries.

Lingaraj S.
