How can tooltips be added to a vb.net winforms datagrid row(s)?

Question

I'm looking to add a tooltip to each row in a bound datagrid in vb.net winforms. How can this be done?

Answer 1

I haven't tried this myself but I would give it a shot:

System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip formToolTip = new System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip();
formToolTip .SetToolTip(item, "Row Tooltip");

Where item corresponds to the cell you're setting the tool tip for.

Answer 2

row.cells[indexof].ToolTipText= "tootip here".

In winforms, it doesn't look like you can do the whole row.

if you NEED the whole row you can loop through the cells.

 foreach (DataGridViewCell cell in row.Cells)
                {
                    cell.ToolTipText = "tooltip here";
                }

If TypeOf control Is TabControl Then
    For Each control1 In control.Controls
        If TypeOf control1 Is TabPage Then
            strControlText = fnGetLanguage(control1.Text)
        End If
        For Each control2 In control1.Controls
            If TypeOf control2 Is label Then
                strControlText = control2.Text
                ' strToolTipText = ToolTip.GetToolTip(control2)
                If strControlText.Contains("*") Then
                    strDizi = Split(strControlText, " ")
                    strControlText = fnGetLanguage(strDizi(0))
                Else
                    strControlText = fnGetLanguage(control2.Text)
                End If
            ElseIf TypeOf control2 Is DataGridView Then
                For i = 0 To control2.ColumnCount - 1
                    strControlText = control2.Columns(i).HeaderText
                    strControlText = fnGetLanguage(strControlText)
                Next
            ElseIf TypeOf control2 Is ComboBox Then
                strControlText = control2.Text
                'strToolTipText = ToolTip.GetToolTip(control2)
                If control2.DataSource Is Nothing Then
                    For i = 0 To control2.Items.Count - 1
                        strControlText = control2.Items(i)
                        strControlText = fnGetLanguage(strControlText)
                    Next
                Else
                    For i = 0 To control2.Items.Count - 1
                        strControlText = control2.Items(i).ToString
                        strControlText = fnGetLanguage(strControlText)
                    Next
                End If
            End If
        Next
    Next
End If
