show tooltip in gridview

[graphicsxp]

Hi,

I would like to show a tooltip when the user move the mouse over the
first column of my gridview.

The tooltip should be bound to a field of the gridview's datasource
that correspond to the row being hovered.

How can I do that ?

Either you put a link with the title attribute set, or you should
devise a DHTML method (that includes javascript).

You can use a label control
and in the label control set ToolTip='blablabls'

I've found a better way actually :

Protected Sub grdCuttings_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e
As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles
grdCuttings.RowDataBound
Dim item As GridViewRow = e.Row

If (e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow) Then
item.Cells(0).Attributes.Add("title",
Me.grdCuttings.DataKeys(item.RowIndex).Item("Headline").ToString())
End If
End Sub

Thanks
