Bill,
I implemented this in my Organizer project and had a bit of fun finding out
how to do it. What you need to do is set up an external Method say
MyGridHitTest on the grid or form and then bind this method to the to the
Mouseover event of the colum ns in the grid.
* Bind the Thisform.MyGridhit() to each column to display tooltips
=BindEvent(.Columns[I],"MouseMove",Thisform,"MyGridHit")
Now we look at the MyGridHit() User method.
In it we use the GridHitTest which will give back coordinates of the
relative row/column. Activate the live cell then force in the tooltip text
using Eval()
* Thisform.MyGridHit()
With Thisform.grdData
* See where we are in the grid
.GridHitTest(nxCoord_In, nYCoord_In, ;
@nWhere_Out,@nRelRow_Out,@nRelCol_Out, @nView_Out)
* Display full tooltip if we are in column 1, 2 or 3
If InList(nRelCol_Out,1,2,3)
.ActivateCell(nRelRow_Out,nRelCol_Out)
cCursor=.RecordSource
cTooltip=Evaluate("Alltrim("+cCursor+"<fieldname>"+")")
.Columns[1].Tooltiptext=(cTooltip)
...
...
I used the Evaluate() function in order to dynamically change the tooltip
from row to row but you can obviously load the cTooltip variable with
whatever you want.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Dynamic tooltips for grid cells
Customer wants to hover mouse over a grid to view tooltips containing
data stored in a field of the cursor source for the grid. That is, I'll
need to dynamically load tooltip for textboxes in the grid as the mouse
is hovered over the cells (textboxes) of the grid.
To do this, I setup a test case using bindevents to attach method code
to MouseEnter for all textboxes in the grid, but what I'm seeing is that
MouseEnter isn't getting control as I hover the mouse over the grid, but
instead it gets control only when I click a cell in the grid or hover
over a cell already selected - but when I hover over the adjacent
(unselected) cells, MouseEnter stays dormant. Is this the way MouseEnter
is supposed to work? Doesn't seem right, at least not for what I want to
do.
Any ideas?
Bill
