Showing cell content on hint in DevExpress grid

Question

I am using TcxGridDBTableView from DevExpress. Some of the cells contain really long strings, so I want to be able to show them to users using Hints. I want also to be able to do have line brakes in hint in places of semicolon in my text.

Do you know how to simply achieve this?

Answer 1

Try this

procedure TForm1.cxGrid1TableView1Column3GetCellHint(
  Sender: TcxCustomGridTableItem; ARecord: TcxCustomGridRecord;
  ACellViewInfo: TcxGridTableDataCellViewInfo; const AMousePos: TPoint;
  var AHintText: TCaption; var AIsHintMultiLine: Boolean;
  var AHintTextRect: TRect);
begin
  AHintText := VarToStr(ARecord.Values[Sender.Index]);
  AIsHintMultiLine := True;
end;
