Tooltip

Updated over 6 months ago

To set a ToolTip value to the RadGanttView elements, we can use the ToolTipTextNeeded event. In its event handler we can set different value of ToolTipText property for the currently hover element.

The code snippet below demonstrates how you can use ToolTipTextNeeded event handler to set ToolTipText for the given element.

C#

private void radGanttView1_ToolTipTextNeeded(object sender, ToolTipTextNeededEventArgs e)
{
    GanttViewTaskElement taskElement = sender as GanttViewTaskElement;
    GanttViewMilestoneElement mileStone = sender as GanttViewMilestoneElement;
    GanttViewSummaryElement summaryItem = sender as GanttViewSummaryElement;


    if (mileStone != null)
    {
        GanttViewMilestoneItemElement itemElement = mileStone.Parent as GanttViewMilestoneItemElement;

        e.ToolTipText = itemElement.Data.Title + " : " + itemElement.Data.Start.ToShortDateString() + " - " + itemElement.Data.End.ToShortDateString();
    }

    if (summaryItem != null)
    {
        GanttGraphicalViewBaseItemElement itemElement = summaryItem.Parent as GanttGraphicalViewBaseItemElement;

        e.ToolTipText = itemElement.Data.Title + " : " + itemElement.Data.Start.ToShortDateString() + " - " + itemElement.Data.End.ToShortDateString();
    }

    if (taskElement != null)
    {
        GanttGraphicalViewBaseItemElement itemElement = taskElement.Parent as GanttGraphicalViewBaseItemElement;

        if (itemElement != null)
            e.ToolTipText = itemElement.Data.Title + " : " + itemElement.Data.Start.ToShortDateString() + " - " + itemElement.Data.End.ToShortDateString();
    }
}

VB.NET

Private Sub radGanttView1_ToolTipTextNeeded(sender As Object, e As ToolTipTextNeededEventArgs)
        Dim taskElement As GanttViewTaskElement = TryCast(sender, GanttViewTaskElement)
        Dim mileStone As GanttViewMilestoneElement = TryCast(sender, GanttViewMilestoneElement)
        Dim summaryItem As GanttViewSummaryElement = TryCast(sender, GanttViewSummaryElement)


        If mileStone IsNot Nothing Then
            Dim itemElement As GanttViewMilestoneItemElement = TryCast(mileStone.Parent, GanttViewMilestoneItemElement)

            e.ToolTipText = itemElement.Data.Title & " : " & itemElement.Data.Start.ToShortDateString() & " - " + itemElement.Data.[End].ToShortDateString()
        End If

        If summaryItem IsNot Nothing Then
            Dim itemElement As GanttGraphicalViewBaseItemElement = TryCast(summaryItem.Parent, GanttGraphicalViewBaseItemElement)

            e.ToolTipText = itemElement.Data.Title & " : " & itemElement.Data.Start.ToShortDateString() & " - " + itemElement.Data.[End].ToShortDateString()
        End If

        If taskElement IsNot Nothing Then
            Dim itemElement As GanttGraphicalViewBaseItemElement = TryCast(taskElement.Parent, GanttGraphicalViewBaseItemElement)

            If itemElement IsNot Nothing Then
                e.ToolTipText = itemElement.Data.Title & " : " & itemElement.Data.Start.ToShortDateString() & " - " + itemElement.Data.[End].ToShortDateString()
            End If
        End If
    End Sub
