Best Way to Create a ToolTip in GridHyperLinkColumn

[Joel Kraft]

I have a grid with a GridHyperLink column and I would like to have a tooltip displayed for the link.  What is the best way to do this?  I understand that I can change it to a GridTemplateColumn and create everything myself, but I was hoping there was a way to do it in ItemDataBound or in another event.

Thanks,
Joel

Hi Joel,

You can try out the following code to set the tooltip for the GridHyperLinkColumn. You can use the ItemDataBound event of the grid to achieve this.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
    {
        GridDataItem gridItem = e.Item as GridDataItem;
        foreach (GridColumn column in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.RenderColumns)
        {
            if (column is GridHyperLinkColumn)
            {
                (gridItem[column.UniqueName].Controls[0] as HyperLink).ToolTip = (gridItem[column.UniqueName].Controls[0] as HyperLink).Text;
            }
        }
    }
}

Thanks,

Ahh... that is it!

I was trying to set .ToolTip on the GridHyperLinkColumn, rather than the hyperlink control in the column.

Thanks!
