Tooltip Property

Description

Gets/sets the tool tip that is displayed when the mouse cursor is positioned over the GridRecordItem.

Property Type

Read-write property

Syntax (Visual Basic)

Public Property Tooltip() As String

Remarks

If no Tooltip is set, then nothing will be displayed when the mouse cursor is placed over the GridRecordItem.

There are two types of tool tips for a GridRecordItem:

  1. The first type is a "Continuation" of an item when the width of the column is too small to display the entire caption of the item. The "continuation" is a normal rectangular tooltip that displays the entire caption of the GridRecordItem. The "continuation" tool tip does not use the ToolTipContext formatting; it will always be rectangular. This tool tip will not be displayed if a Tooltip is set for the GridRecordItem. The "continuation" tooltip is only displayed if the column width is too small to display the caption of the item.

  2. The second type of tool tip is the text that is stored in the Tooltip property. This tool tip will use the ToolTipContext formatting. This tool tip will be displayed whenever the mouse cursor is positioned over the GridRecordItem, regardless of the column width.
