How to add title tag to LinkButton Column?

[Sebastian]

Hi,

I have the following Column:

protected static void CreateAndAddRadGridAuditViewCommandColumn(RadGrid grid)
{
    GridButtonColumn auditColumn = new GridButtonColumn()
    {
        UniqueName = "AuditView",
        ButtonType = GridButtonColumnType.LinkButton,
        Text = "      " // just make background image from css class visible (using CSS sprites)
    };
    column.HeaderStyle.CssClass = "rgHeader " + "cms-column-auditview";
    column.ItemStyle.CssClass = newCssClass;
    grid.Columns.Add(auditColumn);
}

The corresponding CSS class is:

.cms-column-auditview a {
    text-decoration: none !important;
    background: url(/Cms/Resources/Images/iconset.png) 0px -2032px no-repeat;
}

Now I want to add a mouseover hint to those images using a "Title" attribute on the link that is rendered.
I need to use CSS sprites for performance reasons. How can I achieve this?

Regards,

Hi Sebastian,

To access the link buttons in the button column programmatically, and set the ToolTip attribute of the LinkButtons inside, you can use RadGrid's ItemCreated event:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(Object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
    {
        GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
        (item["AuditView"].Controls[0] as LinkButton).ToolTip = "tooltip text";
    }
}
