Namespace: DevExpress.XtraLayout

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraLayout.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

[DefaultValue(null)]
[DXCategory("Appearance")]
public ToolTipController ToolTipController { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Default Description
ToolTipController null

The ToolTipController component controlling the appearance and behavior of hints displayed for layout items.

Remarks

The availability and content of hints displayed for controls can be controlled by the properties provided by the BaseLayoutItem.OptionsToolTip object. By default, hints display only the specified text, and have the default shape and appearance. The content, appearance and behavior of tooltips can be customized using tooltip controllers.

By default, the ToolTipController property is set to null, and the control’s tooltips are handled by the Default ToolTipController, which is available via the DefaultToolTipController component. Changing this object’s properties and handling its events, affect hints displayed for all controls whose ToolTipController property is set to null.

To make a Layout Control’s tooltips handled by a specific tooltip controller, add a ToolTipController component to the form, and assign it to the ToolTipController property.

Please refer to Hints and Tooltips for details.
