SvgImageItem.ToolTip Property

Gets or sets a tooltip for this item.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors

Assembly: DevExpress.Utils.v20.2.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Utils, DevExpress.Wpf.Core

Declaration

[DXCategory("ToolTip")]
public string ToolTip { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Description
String

A hint shown when a user hovers over this item.

Remarks

SvgImageItems show regular hints and super tooltips if the ShowToolTips property is enabled. To assign tooltips, use the ToolTip and/or SuperTip properties.

The ToolTipController property allows you to assign a stand-alone controller and modify tooltips at runtime. To do that, handle the ToolTipController.BeforeShow event. Read the e.SelectedObject property to identify which item a user hovers, and set the correspondinge.Tooltip or e.SuperTip value. The code sample below illustrates how tooltips are assigned to SvgImageBox items in the DevExpress “SvgImage Box” Demo Center module.

Item tooltips in DevExpress SvgImageBox

svgImageBox.ToolTipController = toolTipController;
toolTipController.BeforeShow += 
    new DevExpress.Utils.ToolTipControllerBeforeShowEventHandler(this.OnBeforeShowToolTip);

void OnBeforeShowToolTip(object sender, Utils.ToolTipControllerShowEventArgs e) {
    var svgImageItem = e.SelectedObject as SvgImageItem;
    if(svgImageItem == null) return;
    e.ToolTip = string.Format(
        e.ToolTip,(svgImageItem.Tag as string).ToUpper(),
        svgImageItem.Selected ? "Reserved" : "Free");
}
