Datagrid Tooltip....

[John Smith]

How to add the tool tip to the datagrid column? I have a situation wherein
the customer number is displayed in the datagrid column. I wanted to display
the corresponding customer first and last name when the user takes the
mouser over the customer # cell.

How to do that?

..Net Framework 1.1.

Hi John,

You might be interested in having a read of the solution provided by Clarke
Scott on his blog:
http://www.clarkescott.com/PermaLink,guid,5b4b123e-abbc-4e42-a377-8aebc0b045b0.aspx

Although it utilises a 3rd party JavaScript library (overLib) to provide the
solution.

A similar effect may be achieved by using e.Item.Tooltip property.

Excuse my ignorance, but what are all these solutions for? Is there anything
wrong with standard WebControl's ToolTip property? Handle ItemDataBound
event, get down to every TableCell and set it's ToolTip. Am I missing
something?

There is nothing wrong with the ASP.NET Web Control Tooltip property.

But if you want to make further customization of the tooltip, this can be
achieved through the use of these JavaScript based tooltips.

The standard tooltip will onlydisplay for a short amount of time. You can
make the custom Javascript ones stay as long as you like. As well as
allowing you to add things like HTML togs to customize the tooltip (eg:
Adding bold /Italic and so on).
