I also have this problem. the ToolTipText of UltraGridCell does't displayed (never).

I wrote that code in MouseEnterElement event, and when I set the tooltipText for the current cell (from e), I update the TipStyleCell to Show, and the toolTip does not display. What should I do?

this is my code:

private void ultraGrid1_MouseEnterElemnt(object sender, UIElementEventArgs e)
{
    UltraGridCell cell = e.Element.GetContext(typeof(UltraGridCell)) as UltraGridCell;
    if ((cell != null) && (cell.Column.Equals(ultraGrid1.Rows.Band.Columns["PersonName"])))
   {
       ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Override.TipStyleCell = TipStyle.Show;
       cell.ToolTipText = "___" + cell.Text;
       //tip.ShowAlways = true;
       //tip.SetToolTip(cell.GetUIElement().Control, cell.ToolTipText + "___");
   }

}

If I use with ToolTip of Windows it's work good, but I want to use with ToolTipText of UltraGridCell.

thanks.

Okay, my guess is that MouseEnterElement is too late. The mouse is already inside the cell at that point, and the grid is probably using the MouseEnterElement event to detect when the mouse enters the cell so it knows when to show the tooltip.

I recommend using InitializeRow instead.

Hi,

Other than setting the ToolTipText on the cell, there's nothing more you need to do - unless you are setting TipStyleCell and explicitly turning off the tooltips for that column.

Just to be sure, I tried it out in a simple sample project and it's working just fine for me. I have attached my sample here so you can try it out.

I changed to use the InitializeRow event, but the ToolTipText is never shown.

Maybe there are properties that affect the toolTip?

Thanks.
