If a grid cell contains text that is too long to be displayed, moving the mouse over the cell results in a tooltip being displayed with the complete text.
Can I simply "turn on" a similar feature with an UltraGridCellProxy or do I need to write code to trap the MouseHover event and set the tooltip?
Thanks,
Richard
Hi Mike,
An "UltraGridCellProxy" is a component in the NetAdvantage toolbox which I am using in an "UltraGridRowEditTemplate". If a grid's cell contains text, then, when a "GridRowEditTemplate" is being shown, the "UltraGridCellProxy" with its property set to the grid column's key displays the cell's text.
I'm just wondering if, when there's not enough space in the "UltraGridCellProxy" to display all of the text, is there something I can set so that, like grid cells, a tooltipish box appears containing the complete text string.
Oh, that UltraGridCellProxy. :)
I'm pretty sure there's no built-in way to get the same tooltip functionality you get in the grid on the RowEditTemplate. But this is something I'd have to look into in more detail.
You could, of course, use a ToolTip or UltraToolTipManager to provide your own tooltips on the proxy, just as you would for any control. But determining whether the text is clipped could be pretty tricky.
Your best bet to get some help with this is to Submit an incident to Infragistics Developer Support.
If this is not possible to do right now, at the very least, it should be entered into the system as a feature request.
