Set ToolTipText after adding row?

[Jason]

With RadGridView, Is there a way to set the ToolTipText value for a certain cell immediately after adding a row? For example:

int rowIndex = RadGridView1.Rows.Add("column1Text", "column2Text", "Column3Text");

RadGridView1.Rows[rowIndex].Cells["FirstColumn"].?? (ToolTipText property) = "ToolTipValue";

Is there any way to set the ToolTipText property for a certain cell of that row?

Thanks,

Hello Jason,

Thank you for writing.

In this case you can use the ToolTipTextNeeded event of the grid to achieve the desired behavior. For example:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    this.radGridView1.ToolTipTextNeeded += new Telerik.WinControls.ToolTipTextNeededEventHandler(radGridView1_ToolTipTextNeeded);
}


private void radGridView1_ToolTipTextNeeded(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.ToolTipTextNeededEventArgs e)
{
    GridDataCellElement dataCell = sender as GridDataCellElement;

    if (dataCell != null)
    {
        if (dataCell.ColumnInfo.Name == "Name")
        {
            e.ToolTipText = "yourCustomText";
        }
    }
}

I hope this helps.

All the best,
