I am creating an Ops Monitor that displays the status of recent operations events. There is a "Status" column that shows an operation status as pending, active, completed, or failed. For failed operations, I would like the ability to hover over the cell and have a popup show a detailed reason for the failure.
Question: Is this possible with ultraWinGrid?
Of course you can.
What I would do is handle the InitializeRow event. The event gives you the row and you can access the properties of any cells in that row.
Can I set the tooltip to the data in a hidden column? IOW, if I have a row status of "Failed", I would like this tooltip to reflect the value of a hidden "ExceptionMsg" column.
It sounds like you just want a tooltip on the cell. That's very easy to do. Simply set the ToolTipText property on the cell to the text you want.
