    Hello Telerik Community,

    Does anybody know a way to add a tooltip to the column chooser? I know it is not a matter of life or death, but, in one of my projects i condensed a little bit some column header names, and now, when they are on the column chooser nobody, including me, is able to deduce which is the column content :( .

    Would be possible to get some reference to the column chooser and add a tooltip to each column?

    Best Regards

    Andrea

    Hello Andrea,

    Thank you for writing.  

    In order to add tooltips to the items in the column chooser, you can subscribe to the RadGridView.ColumnChooserItemElementCreating event and assign the desired tooltip to the ColumnChooserItemElementCreatingEventArgs.ItemElement.ToolTipText property:
    public RadForm1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
     
        this.radGridView1.ColumnChooserItemElementCreating+=radGridView1_ColumnChooserItemElementCreating;
    }
     
    private void radGridView1_ColumnChooserItemElementCreating(object sender,
        Telerik.WinControls.UI.ColumnChooserItemElementCreatingEventArgs e)
    {
        e.ItemElement.ToolTipText = e.Column.Name;
    }

    I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.

    Regards,
