Viewing DropDownList Text
Hi,
I have a DropDownList inside a datagrid. It has a fixed width. So when the text inside the dropDown is larger, it is not possible to view the text inside the dropdown. I can't increase the width of the dropdown also. Is there any way, when the user selects a text from the dropdown, he can see the text?. Something like a tooltip.. I am binding the dropdownlist through a dataset from the database.
Thanks and Regards,
Seby

Tooltip would apply to the control and not the individual items. Just curious, why can't you increase the width?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I can't increase the width or use percentage for the DropDownList since it will affect the Datagrid and also the Text size can increase for certain values. I know that there is a property called ToolTip() for dropdownlist. But I don't know how to use it or whether I can use it for the values..
Is there any other solution for this..?
Thanks and Regards,
Seby

You can try changing the zindex to make it rest over the datagrid.

if u think a tooltip will do ur job:
Code:
this.toolTip1.SetToolTip(Control_name, "Tolltip Mess");
but u have to set it for OnChange event too! or use title for ur Select & set it by JavaScript as a client-Script.
HTH.

Hi,
