ToolTips
There are two ways to assign tooltips to cells in RadVirtualGrid, namely setting the ToolTipText property of a VirtualGridCellElement in the CellFormatting event handler, or as in most of the RadControls by using the ToolTipTextNeeded event.
Setting tooltips in the ToolTipTextNeeded event
The code snippet below demonstrates how you can use the ToolTipTextNeeded event handler to set ToolTipText for the given VirtualGridCellElement.
private void radVirtualGrid1_ToolTipTextNeeded(object sender, ToolTipTextNeededEventArgs e)
{
VirtualGridCellElement virtualCell = sender as VirtualGridCellElement;
if (virtualCell != null)
{
e.ToolTipText = "Tooltip: " + virtualCell.Value + "";
}
}
Private Sub radVirtualGrid1_ToolTipTextNeeded(sender As Object, e As ToolTipTextNeededEventArgs)
Dim virtualCell As VirtualGridCellElement = TryCast(sender, VirtualGridCellElement)
If virtualCell IsNot Nothing Then
e.ToolTipText = "Tooltip: " + virtualCell.Value + ""
End If
End Sub
Setting tooltips in the CellFormatting event handler
The code snippet below demonstrates how you can assign a tooltip to a cell in RadVirtualGrid.
private void radVirtualGrid1Tooltips_CellFormatting(object sender, VirtualGridCellElementEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CellElement.RowIndex >= 0)
{
e.CellElement.ToolTipText = e.CellElement.Value + "";
}
}
Private Sub radVirtualGrid1Tooltips_CellFormatting(sender As Object, e As VirtualGridCellElementEventArgs)
If e.CellElement.RowIndex >= 0 Then
e.CellElement.ToolTipText = e.CellElement.Value + ""
End If
End Sub
The ToolTipTextNeeded event has higher priority and overrides the tooltips set in the CellFormatting event handler.
