UserControl on Tooltip when hover a gridcell

[Jacob]

Hello Telerik,

We came across a scenario which we need to add a tooltip containing a UserControl to a tooltip of a grid's cell.

Can you please point me to the right direction?

 

Thank you

[Jacob]

Hello Jacob,

To achieve the desired behavior, please take a look at our Add ToolTip for columns and headers article where you can find how to add a control in DataTemplate of the ToolTip. Similarly, may be added a UserControl inside it. Also, you can find more helpful information on the matter in this thread.

I hope that this helps.

Hi Martin, thank you for your reply

I have followed your tip and got my tooltip showing preloaded data.

but I need to modify this solution in order to show data on demand. that is on mouse hovering of that cell

here is what I came up with:

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn   Width="50*"
                            DataMemberBinding="{Binding UserCount}" IsFilterable="False">
    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding UserCount}" MouseEnter="TextBlock_MouseEnter" />
        </DataTemplate>
    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
    <telerik:GridViewColumn.ToolTipTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                <ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding UserNames}"/>
            </StackPanel>
        </DataTemplate>
    </telerik:GridViewColumn.ToolTipTemplate>
</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

 

and the mouseenter event will trigger a Load method on the viewmodel to update the UserNames property there (a list of string)

but it won't work. the list comes empty. Is there something we can do about it?

 

Thanks
