How to kow the Lenght of the Text in the Current DataGridTextBox Column (on MouseMove)

[DraguVaso]

Hi,

I need to know the Lenght of the Text in a DataGridTextBox Column when I move
with the mouse over it, and show it in a ToolTip.
I have something that works, but it works only when the DataGridextBoxC olumn
is not selected. Once I select it (type some additional text in it), I don't
see the ToolTip anymore...

I gues that's because it isn't anymore the DataGrid that the Mouse is moving
over, but the Cell. Does anybody knows a solution for this?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Pieter
You can see my DataGrid_MouseM ove here:

Private Sub dbgGrid_MouseMo ve(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows. Forms.MouseEven tArgs) Handles dbgGrid.MouseMo ve
Dim p1 As New Point

p1 = dbgGrid.PointTo Client(Cursor.P osition)

Dim intCol As Integer = dbgGrid.HitTest (p1).Column
Dim intRow As Integer = dbgGrid.HitTest (p1).Row

If (intCol = 3) And (intRow > -1) Then
Dim strT As String
Try
strT = dbgGrid.Item(in tRow, intCol).ToStrin g
Catch ex As Exception
strT = ""
End Try

strT = strT & vbCrLf & "Length: " & strT.Length

totImport.SetTo olTip(dbgGrid, strT)
totImport.Activ e = True
Else
totImport.SetTo olTip(dbgGrid, "")
totImport.Activ e = False
End If
End Sub

Hm ok, I found it myself.. :-)

Just adding a Handler to the MouseMove-event of the
TableStyle.Grid columnStyels(in tColumnNumber). TextBox...
