Displaying Text Tips
Overview
Text tips are not displayed automatically for headers and cells. To have the control display text tips, set the TextTip property to a value other than 0 (Off) and, if the text is completely displayed in the cell, set the ShowTip parameter in the TextTipFetch event to True. When you set the TextTip property, the setting you choose specifies the following:
- That you want the control to display text tips
- Where the text tips are displayed
- Whether the control only displays text tips when it has the focus
Once you have specified that the control should display text tips, it will display them for any header or cell that contains text greater than the column width. You can specify that text tips appear regardless of length. If you want to display text tips for a header or cell that does not contain text, see Customizing Text Tips.
The control waits 500 milliseconds to display the text tip for a header or cell after the pointer is positioned over the header or cell. You can change that delay interval, if you prefer.
