Hi randall,

Thank you for writing. You can set a tool tip in header cell by using ToolTipTextNeeded event. Please, consider the following code:

private void radGridView1_ToolTipTextNeeded(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.ToolTipTextNeededEventArgs e)
{
    if (sender is GridHeaderCellElement)
    {
        e.ToolTipText = ((GridHeaderCellElement)sender).Text;
    }
}

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Best wishes,
