[Solved] How to apply tooltips

[Stephen]

Is it possible to apply tooltips to grid content.  For example to header cells - to provide an explanation of data in the column, or even in data cells so additional information can be presented against cells where needed?

Thanks

Great thanks!!

Hi,

This sample shows how to apply a key value as the tooltip.  What if I just want to present the cell content itself as a tooltip?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I have sort of worked this out, but I had to move the logic into ItemDataBound rather than ItemCreated.  Does ItemCreated fire before data binding to the cell has occured?

Protected Sub grdComments_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.WebControls.GridItemEventArgs)

If (TypeOf e.Item Is GridDataItem) Then

Dim gridItem As GridDataItem = CType(e.Item, GridDataItem)

For Each column As GridColumn In CType(sender, RadGrid).MasterTableView.RenderColumns

If (TypeOf column Is GridBoundColumn) Then

'this line will show a tooltip based on the Comment and Outcome field

If column.UniqueName = "COMMENTARY" Then

gridItem(column.UniqueName).ToolTip = gridItem(

"COMMENTARY").Text

ElseIf column.UniqueName = "OUTCOME" Then

gridItem(column.UniqueName).ToolTip = gridItem(

"OUTCOME").Text

End If

End If

Next

End If

End Sub

Hi Stephen,

You can go through the KB article that explains the difference between the ItemDataBound and ItemCreated event handlers.
