ToolTip on GridViewDataColumn

[John Morris]

Hello, I'm trying to add a tooltip to a GridViewDataColumn without any luck using the following code:

<telerikGridView:GridViewDataColumn ToolTipService.ToolTip="{Binding Miscellaneous}" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name, Mode=OneWay}" />

I get a parser error as if the Miscellaneous field doesn't exist.  I can bind to Miscellaneous in the DataMemberBinding so the data source seems fine.  Is this possible?  Ideally, I would like to bind the tooltip to multiple fields (i.e. Name + " | " + Miscellaneous).  Is this possible?

Thank you.

Hello,

 You can use ToolTipTemplate property to achieve your goal. Here is an example:

            <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name, Mode=OneWay}">
                    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.ToolTipTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Miscellaneous}"/>
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.ToolTipTemplate>
                </telerik:GridViewDataColumn>
            </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>

Hi,

I want to show some of the grid data on tooltip.
On trying to use the above shown example I am getting the below error:

Error 1 The property 'ToolTipTemplate' does not exist on the type 'GridViewDataColumn' in the XML namespace 'clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView'.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Paresh

Hi,

I'm working with v2.0.50727.

What version do I need to have the tooltip functionality.

Thanks,
Paresh

Hello Paresh,

 This version is actually related to some of the framework assemblies - not ours. You will need for example Q3 2009 - 2009_3_1103.

Thanks for the response!

Is it possible to map multiple columns (images etc.) in the tool tip?

Any sample will be of great help.

Thanks,
Paresh

Hi Paresh,

 You can place anything in this template - even new grid.

Thank you Vlad.  I don't receive an error but I also do not see the tooltip.  I made sure there is data in the field and even placed my own static text into the TextBlock's text field but still don't see the tooltip.  I've tried selecting the row and rolling over the item, just rolling over, and edit mode/rolling over but nothing.  Am I missing a property?

Thank you.

Hi Vlad,
While your sample works fine for me, MY application is having an issue with displaying a tooltip - here is the relevant XAML:
...

 

 

<Controls:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding origin, Converter={StaticResource originConverter}}" Header="" IsReadOnly="True" UniqueName="origin" TextAlignment="Center">

 

 

 

<Controls:GridViewDataColumn.ToolTipTemplate>

 

 

 

<DataTemplate>

 

 

 

<TextBlock Text="{Binding title}"/>

 

 

 

</DataTemplate>

 

 

 

</Controls:GridViewDataColumn.ToolTipTemplate>
...
The value that's displayed in the tooltip is always the value for the last row item, no matter which row I'm mousing over. Any ideas? These are the versions that I have:
   runtime version: v2.0.50727
   version: 2009.3.1103.1030

Hi Bill Jindrich,

This was a known bug for this version , It was fixed soon after the release. I would recommend an upgrade to a later version.
