Tooltip on GridHyperLinkColumn

[Daniel]

Hi. I'm using RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX 2009_2_826_dev. I'm trying to set the tooltip on all columns to be the same. Everything works except the GridHyperLinkColumn(s). I can set the 'text' property okay, so I know my code behind is trying to set it on the correct grid item. Thanks in advance.

    protected void rgPeople_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem gridItem = e.Item as GridDataItem;
            foreach (GridColumn column in rgPeople.MasterTableView.RenderColumns)
            {
                if (column is GridBoundColumn)
                {
                    gridItem[column.UniqueName].ToolTip = gridItem.OwnerTableView.DataKeyValues[gridItem.ItemIndex]["pkEmployeeNumber"].ToString();
                }
            }
        }
    }

Hello Daniel,

You can try out the following code to set the tooltip for the hyperlink column in the grid. You would also have to use the ItemDataBound event of the grid instead of the ItemCreated event inorder to implement this.
c#:

 protected void rgPeople_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem gridItem = e.Item as GridDataItem;
            foreach (GridColumn column in rgPeople.MasterTableView.RenderColumns)
            {
                if (column is GridBoundColumn)
                {
                    gridItem[column.UniqueName].ToolTip = gridItem.OwnerTableView.DataKeyValues[gridItem.ItemIndex]["pkEmployeeNumber"].ToString();
                }
                if (column is GridHyperLinkColumn)
                {
                    (gridItem[column.UniqueName].Controls[0] as HyperLink).ToolTip = gridItem.OwnerTableView.DataKeyValues[gridItem.ItemIndex]["pkEmployeeNumber"].ToString();
                }
            }
        }
     }

Thanks
Princy.

Actually you can do it much simpler

                GridTableCell gtcMyCell = (GridTableCell)item["Your_Unique_Name"];
                gtcMyCell.ToolTip = "Your Tool Tip"; //set tooltip of the cell
                (gtcMyCell.Controls[0] as HyperLink).ToolTip = "Your_Unique_Name"; //set tootip of link itself
