[Solved] RadGrid header tooltips

[Ryan Bandouveres]

In the RadGrid, when the option to allow column reordering is turned on, there is a tooltip that shows up when you hover over the columns which states "drag to group or reorder".  There is a setting in our db that tells the grid to turn grouping on or off at run-time.  When grouping is turned off, I would like the tooltip to read something such as "drag to reorder".  I've searched all over and tried several attempts at getting this to change, but so far I have not had any luck.  I also tried using a RadToolTip, but I still get the original one in addition to the RadToolTip.  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

I tried the following in RadGrid_ItemDataBound event with no avail.

        if (e.Item is GridHeaderItem)
        {
            GridHeaderItem header = e.Item as GridHeaderItem;
            header["colTranDate"].ToolTip = "header.tooltip test";
        }

Hello Ryan,

You can alter the DragtoGrouporReorder tooltip as shown below:

 <telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" >
       <ClientSettings AllowDragToGroup="true">
        <ClientMessages DragToGroupOrReorder="customToolTip" />

        </ClientSettings>
       <MasterTableView>
          ....
       </MasterTableView>
 </telerik:RadGrid>

Thanks
Princy.

Hi,
I have been trying to set custom tooltips for radgrid header columns. Used following code, but no luck. Any help ?

protected void gdObjects_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item is GridHeaderItem)
{
GridHeaderItem header = (GridHeaderItem)e.Item;

header["select"].ToolTip = "test";

}
}

Thank you for the responses.  I figured it out late last night with the following line of code:

RadGrid.ClientSettings.ClientMessages.DragToGroupOrReorder =

"drag to reorder";
