Can you add a tooltip to a datagrid column

Is it possible to add a tooltip in the column of a Datagrid. Can someone
please show me how I would do this for the datagrid column below. Thanks for
any help anyone can give me.

Here is the datagrid coloum which I want to put the tooltip
when the user hovers over it.

<asp:BoundColum n DataField="ID" SortExpression= "ID" HeaderText="ID" >
<HeaderStyle ForeColor="Whit e" CssClass="dgHea der">
</HeaderStyle>
<ItemStyle Font-Size="10pt" Height="11px" CssClass="A">
</ItemStyle>
</asp:BoundColumn >

this works for me

in my column, i have a headline[headline] but due to screen size
restrictions, want to show a more detailed description [body] as a tooltip

both pieces of data are returned in the dataset

NB when customising the data grid i always find i have to turn off the
'autogenerate columns' thing on the grid
<asp:TemplateCo lumn SortExpression= "headline" HeaderText="Hea dline">
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign ="Left"></ItemStyle>
<ItemTemplate >
<a href='Single.as px?action=VIEW& type=EXISTING&i ssueID=<%#
DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "issue_id") %>'>
View</a>&nbsp; <a href='Single.as px?action=EDIT& type=EXISTING&i ssueID=<%#
DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "issue_id") %>'>
Edit</a>&nbsp;
<asp:Label ID="LblHeadline " Runat="server" Text='<%#
DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "headline") %>' ToolTip='<%#
DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "body") %>'>
</asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateCol umn>

I'm trying to work with a datagrid column in order to display a tooltip in a datagrid cell. The reason I am doing this is because I have some long strings being returned and I don't want the rows of the datagrid expaning down to much. I basically want to display the first 50 characters in the grid cell and then display the rest as a tooltip in the grid cell. I'm not sure if this is possible but if anyone can help me do this I would be very...

Hello, I am looking a coding example that allows you to add toolTips to a column in a datagrid. It works just fine ins the supplied code, but when I attempt to apply it to my program, it fails with a out of bounds exception. The example is applying toolTip to a HyperLinkColumn, which is the first column in the datagrid, and I am attempting to apply it to a "BoundColumn". Here is the code... Dim liType As ListItemType = e.Item.ItemType...

I have a datagrid on a web page that has several columns in it. Is there a way to provide a tooltip for each of the columns (i.e. to say how they were calculated or what a specific literal in the column means)? Thanks SC

I have a simple DataSet with a single table being bound to a DataGrid. One of the columns is displaying a linkbutton or button so that the user can "drill through" to another related report. I would LOVE to be able to put a tooltip on each linkbutton/button based on the contents of the of another column in my DataSet. (Essentially a more detailed explanation of the link). Any suggestions on how to implement this? Thanks in advance.

I need to have a Tooltip on each Cell in a datagrid, I don't know how to do this. I'm using Styles to the datagrid (Which I asume most people do since you never need to show all the fields from the source). The Cell I want a tooltip on is styled with a textboxcolumn and the TextBox Object in that TextBox Column doesn't seem to have a property called Tooltip.. so i'm sorta stranded here... Best regards/ Lars

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
