Hi!

I am trying to add tooltips for grid cells, but they are not working. So, what I do:
1. I am using derived cell type(my own), and then overload OnGetToolTipText, and return the tooltip text.
2. I am modifying style of the grid: m_GListGrid.SiwModifyStyle( (__ESIS_STV_ITEM | __EGBS_EX_CELL_TOOLTIPS), 0, true );
3. I set m_GListGrid.HoverEventsSet( true, true );

Unfortunately there is no any tooltip when I am hovering my mouse over the cell. What I have to do?

Thanks for your answer.

By the way, you have already almost all code for doing it.
We simply derivated one CExtGridCell, add the string tooltip & methods, plus override OnGetToolTipText virtual method and it works like a charm.

Is it by design (memory constraint) that you didn’t want to store this additionnal string directly in CExtGridCell ?
Or is it because there so many differents needs that my solution is not as "a general" one ?

Regards, Fabien.

Dear Support,

Have you already released this feature ?
I was about to implemente it by myself but I always prefer your implementation.

Best regards,
Fabien.

This is not supported in the current version. We will add it in one of the next versions.

Please note you should disable the contents pop-up window for grid cells first. Such a tooltip-like window shows the cell contents for any cell that is partially visible:

   m_wndGrid.EnableTooltips(
            true,
            true,
            true,
            true,
            true
            );
      m_wndGrid.EnableExpanding(
            false,
            false,
            false,
            false,
            false
            );

Following requests from our customers, we are going to implement a method (TooltipTextSet()) which can be used for setting a custom tooltip. We will notify you when it is ready.
