[Solved] Column Header Tooltips & Column header height for long column names

[David]

The Gridview demos were extremely helpful, I made use of many of the features and now the users want me to fix the 2 remaining problems that the demos don't address:
1) Lots of whitespace when the column header is longer than the data in the column.  In Excel it is very easy to adjust the header row height so that words wrap, I saw some related discussion but didn't find a solution that worked.
2) Column header tool-tips would be a great addition to the demos.  This allows you to use an abbreviated column name and then have the tool-tip provide clarity i.e. "Red Tea" -> "Organic Rooibos Tea"

Thank you.

Hello David,

 
Since the Header property of the columns is object you can assign anything - even UI element like TextBlock. For example:

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Header>

                        <TextBlock Tex="My long text" TextWrapping="Wrap" ToolTipService.ToolTip="MyTooltip"/>

  </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Header>

Kind regards,
Vlad
