Thanks,i will try this out and let you know.

But it seems what i need which is "on mouse hover over a column, a brief description of the column should be displayed as tooltip"

Thanks for your immediate response.

Hello,

So my sample is pretty close to what you need and not exactly like it. You might probably want to define a bool and set it to true when in 'HeaderUIElement' and false on 'else'. Then check if the bool is true when handling 'MouseHover' event and initialize, set and show the tooltip. When false, hide the tooltip. If you want of course I can create another sample with your requirements.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any additional assistance.

You are awesome.

If you can, could you please create another example fitting to what i told and post.

Thanks, sorry for the trouble.

Thanks a lot.

Hello,

Thank you, no worries.

I have taken some time to research this and came to the conclusion that 'MouseHover' event might not suit your needs because it fires only one time if mouse remains stationary in the control. And to fire the event for a second time you would have to leave the bounds of the control with the mouse and then enter again.

So if your requirements are to show the tooltip not immediately but after a one second for example you could use a 'Timer'. I slightly modified my previous sample and attached it to this post for you, please review it and see if it meets your requirements. Feel free to let me know if this behavior is not the required by you.

Hello,

Thank you for the code sample provided, I believe that the other community members could benefit from it.

Please feel free to let me know if a question about our toolset comes up on your mind.

Hi Boris,

Thanks for your help.

Btw for width issue, i wrote the following code. it may not be perfect but it helps.

string

Col =  "assign your tooltip text here"; 

int interval = 40; //set width as you require

for (int i = interval; i < Col.Length; i += interval)

{

while (Col[i] != ' ' && i < Col.Length && i != Col.Length - 1)

{ ++i; };

"\n");

}

newUltraToolTipInfo(Col, Infragistics.Win.ToolTipImage.Info,"More info on " + header.Header.Column.Key, Infragistics.Win.DefaultableBoolean.True);

Thanks Boris,

The code that you had shared worked fine in my form (But did not work in other form- strange! and i tweaked the code and made it work there also) . I have one question though.

There are cases in which i wanna restrict the size of baloon of the tool tip. is it  feasible?

How can i do it?

Thanks a lot

Hello,

Yes, I might have not expressed myself clearly enough. So I will wait for the demo project(in fact that type of project I expected, not your entire project, only an isolated sample). The code really should work in your project also, so I will investigate it for you, when you attach it.
