How do I Add a Tooltip To a DataGridTextColumn
Yes, you can add tooltip text to DataGridTextColumn - just stylize it
<DataGridTextColumn Header="ScreenName" Binding="{Binding ScreenName}" >
<DataGridTextColumn.CellStyle>
<Style TargetType="DataGridCell">
<Setter Property="ToolTip" Value="{Binding Name}" />
</Style>
</DataGridTextColumn.CellStyle>
</DataGridTextColumn>
I'm not sure if you can add a tooltip to a DataGridTextColumn
but you can easily use the DataGridTemplateColumn
and the ToolTipService
instead. e.g.
<data:DataGrid.Columns>
<data:DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Broker">
<data:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Moniker.Abbreviation}"
ToolTipService.ToolTip="{Binding Moniker.Name}" />
</DataTemplate>
</data:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
</data:DataGridTemplateColumn>
</data:DataGrid.Columns>
In this example Moniker.Abbreviation
is displayed in the column. When the user hovers over a cell, the full broker name (Moniker.Name
) is displayed in the tooltip.
Note: This example was taken from a Silverlight 3.0 application.
