Property Value

Remarks

When the View's GridOptionsHint.ShowColumnHeaderHints option is set to true, column headers can show tooltips. The default tooltip is equal to the column's caption (GridColumn.Caption). It shows non-trimmed, even if the caption itself is trimmed. To see a tooltip, users need to position their mouse pointer over the column's header.

The code sample below illustrates how to add a custom tooltip to a grid column.

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

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