What the subject says ;-)
I can set the ToolTipText property, which gives me a regular tooltip. There doesn't appear to be a property that lets me tell the ExplorerBar, or Group, that the tooltip contains formatted text.
I tried using the ToolTipManager like this:
this.ultraToolTipManager1.SetUltraToolTip(ultraExplorerBar1.Groups[0].UIElement.Control, tipInfo);
But the UIElement.Control portion is returning a Null Reference Exception.
Is there any way to set a formatted tooltip on the ExplorerBar Group Header?
Thanks!
Hi,
Thank you for contacting Infragistics Developer Support.
What you could do in order to create formatted tooltips is to use CreationFilter and use ToolTipItem property of the elements for which you want tooltips. You can assign to this property objects, which implement IToolTipItem interface, so you should create a custom class which implements this interface. It has only one method, which is GetToolTipInfo and it returns an object of type ToolTipInfo. In it you can create ToolTipInfo object and format it as you want.
I have attached a sample which demonstrates how to format the tooltips of the UltraExplorerBar Group headers.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Excellent! ... that was precisely what I was looking for!
I keep forgetting just how handy the CreationFilter is ... although I still probably wouldn't have been able to come up with this solution myself ;-)
Thanks Dimitar!
