Is there a way to add a tool tip to a BoundColumn? This is my code....
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="PersonName" SortExpression="PersonName" HeaderText="Name">
<HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" Width="10%" VerticalAlign="Top"></HeaderStyle>
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" VerticalAlign="Top"></ItemStyle>
</asp:BoundColumn>
I was using a tablecell before and decided to switch to a bound column, in doing so I realized tooltips are not an attribute of boundcolumn, I need tooltips.
So it's actually a DataGrid
control and you want to have a tooltip on the header-cell. You can use ItemDataBound
:
Protected Sub SortableDataGrid_ItemDataBound(sender As Object, e As DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles Grid0.RowDataBound
Select Case e.Item.ItemType
Case ListItemType.Header
'presuming it's the first column:
e.Item.Cells(0).ToolTip = "Your tooltip for this header cell"
End Select
End Sub
If it's a GridView
the code is similar:
Protected Sub SortableGridView_RowDataBound(sender As Object, e As GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles Grid0.RowDataBound
Select Case e.Row.RowType
Case DataControlRowType.Header
'presuming it's the first column:
e.Row.Cells(0).ToolTip = "Your tooltip for this header cell"
End Select
End Sub
