Property Value

Type	Default	Description
String	String.Empty	A custom tooltip for the column.

Remarks

If the ShowColumnHeaderHints option is enabled, the view displays tooltips for truncated captions in column headers. The default tooltip contains the Caption property’s non-truncated value.

Use the ToolTip property to specify a custom tooltip. A custom tooltip is displayed regardless of whether the caption is truncated.

Example

The code below assigns a custom tooltip to a grid column.

C#

gridView1.Columns["productPrice"].ToolTip = "Price of the product per item";

VB.NET

gridView1.Columns("productPrice").ToolTip = "Price of the product per item"
