GridView code:

Code:

<asp:GridView ID="GridView2" runat="server" Style="z-index: 10px; position: relative; top: 43px; border-right: gray thin solid; border-top: gray thin solid; border-left: gray thin solid; border-bottom: gray thin solid; font-size: 12px; left: 10px;" Width="518px" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" Font-Size="Small" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellSpacing="2" 
            HorizontalAlign="Left" BorderColor="LightGray" BorderStyle="None" PageSize="14" OnSorting="GridView2_Sorting" EmptyDataText="N/A">

                   <asp:BoundField DataField="job_date" DataFormatString="{0:d}" HeaderText="Date" SortExpression="job_date" HtmlEncode="False">
                       <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" Width="40px" />

which field do you want the tooltip to be in?

When I click or mouse over item_notes (ie short text) then display long text (item_notes1), so I guess the tool tip will be in:

</asp:BoundField>
<asp:ButtonField CommandName="notes" DataTextField="item_notes" HeaderText="Notes"
Text="notes" />

ok make that bound field a template field and set it as a label. then set the label's ToolTip='<%# Eval("item_notes1") %>'

Jason, I changed the BoundField to TemplateField and inserted the "ToolTip" segment. Now when I do "mouse-over" no tool tip executes? I must be doing something wrong (as normal):

Code:

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Notes">
<EditItemTemplate>
asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("item_notes") %>'>
</asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("item_notes") %>'>ToolTip='<%# Eval("item_notes1") %>'
</asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

Try it with bind and not Eval

<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("item_notes") %>' ToolTip='<%# Bind("item_notes1") %>'
</asp:Label>

Jason,

With the "bind" I get ASP .Net runtime error: A call to bind must be assigned to a property of a control inside a template.

Not sure what this means.

alliancejhall · July 28th, 2008, 03:45 PM

The text of the control shows fine correct?

Jason Hall

Jason, yes the grid displays the the short note (item_notes) fine. I tested the hidden values for the long notes and it is there as well.
When I do the "mouse over" nothing happens.

Should I try go back and make it a linkbutton again and convert that to a template field. Just a thought, is there something that I need to do in the PageLoad event?
