The following example demonstrates how to display a super tooltip for tasks displayed on the timeline:

C#

using System.Diagnostics;
using DevExpress.Utils;
using DevExpress.XtraGantt;

public Form1() {
  // ...
  ganttControl1.TimelineTaskToolTipShowing += GanttControl1_TimelineTaskToolTipShowing;
  // Specifies a Tooltip controller.
  ganttControl1.ToolTipController = toolTipController1;
  toolTipController1.HyperlinkClick += ToolTipController1_HyperlinkClick;
}

private void GanttControl1_TimelineTaskToolTipShowing(object sender, GanttTimelineTaskToolTipShowingEventArgs e) {
  SuperToolTip supertooltip = new SuperToolTip() { AllowHtmlText = DefaultBoolean.True };
  supertooltip.Items.AddTitle(e.Node["Name"].ToString());
  supertooltip.Items.Add(string.Format("{0:d} - {1:d}<br>{2}", e.Node["StartDate"], e.Node["EndDate"], e.Node["Description"]));
  supertooltip.Items.AddSeparator();
  supertooltip.Items.Add("<a href='https://docs.devexpress.com/WindowsForms/2398/common-features/tooltips'>Documentation</a>");
  e.SuperTip = supertooltip;
}

private void ToolTipController1_HyperlinkClick(object sender, HyperlinkClickEventArgs e) {
  Process process = new Process();
  process.StartInfo.FileName = (e.Link);
  process.StartInfo.Verb = "open";
  process.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal;
  try {
      process.Start();
  } catch { }
}
