Description

The pbValueAsTooltip property is part of the tooltip interface for grids and lists in a web application. When set to True (the default), the current value will be shown as a tooltip when hovering the mouse over a particular grid cell belonging to this column.

This is useful when the column will often be displaying data that is too long to be shown in the available column width (i.e. when the column data is clipped due to the current column width). The tooltip allows the user to view the full cell data by hovering the mouse over it.

Set this property to False to disable displaying the cell value as a tooltip.

If you implement an OnDefineTooltip event for a column that returns a non-empty string, then this will override the "value as tooltip" behavior.

For a column that has a data binding, a different tooltip will be displayed when the user is actually editing the cell data. In this case the DataDictionary Status_Help property for this field is displayed as the tooltip.

About Web Properties

Each web property maintains two values: The regular property value is set during object creation and should not be changed during the lifetime of that object. To access that value, use the standard property Get and Set syntax.

The web property value is the local value stored at each client. This is synchronized to the client's local value whenever a server call is being processed. To access the web property value, use the WebGet and WebSet syntax above instead of the standard Get and Set syntax.
