ValueBasedAppearance and Tooltips
posted

I have been reading a lot of posts pertaining to setting tooltips for a cell, however I have seen nothing that addresses, displaying tooltips based on ValueBasedAppearance.

In my scenario I am creating ValueBasedAppearences at runtime. This occurs as part of Initialization. In many cases the ValueBasedAppearence sets up the use of 1 of many images to be displayed along with the data in the cell. What I would like to do is set the tooltip of the cell based on the ValueBasedAppearence.

Is this possible?

Is there another way to do this?

    HI,

     Each Cell in the WinGrid has a ToolTipText.

     You can set this property in the WinGrids InitializeRow event.

     Here is a code snippet:

       private void ultraGrid1_InitializeRow(object sender, Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.InitializeRowEventArgs e)
            {
                int id = (int) e.Row.Cells[0].Value;
                switch (id)
                {
                    case 1:
                        {
                          e.Row.Cells[0].ToolTipText = "big boss " + id;
                          break;
                        }
                    case 2:
                        {
                            e.Row.Cells[0].ToolTipText = "2nd banana " + id;
                            break;
                        }

                    default:
                        {
                            e.Row.Cells[0].ToolTipText = "every body else " + id;
                            break;

                        }
                }
