Hi Telerik team,

In my application I'm using the Hierarchy grid view.I want to set the tool tip for a particular cell of child gridvew.
Please suggest how to assign it,using the Cell Formatting event we are able to set the tool tip for the Mastergridview rows.but unable to set for the cells of child grid.

Please find theattached  screenshot.

Hi Pradeep Enugala,

Thank you for writing.

You can add a tooltip to any header cell element through handling the ToolTipTextNeeded event. Please consider the following sample 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.

Kind regards,

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the reply.

Able to get the tooltip when mouse hovers on the headers [irrespective of parent / child ] gridview.But i also want to set the tooltip to show the cell value when any particular cell of child grid is mouse hovered and i got it by applying this code:

if (sender is GridDataCellElement)
            {
                if ((((Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridCellElement)(sender))).ColumnInfo.HeaderText == "column name")
                {
                  
                    e.ToolTipText = grdStudies.MasterGridViewTemplate.ChildGridViewTemplates[0].Rows[(((Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridCellElement)(sender))).RowIndex].Cells[7].Value.ToString();
                }
            }

thanks
Pradeep
