Remarks

Use the BaseLayoutItemOptionsToolTip.ToolTip property to provide a tool tip shown when the item’s caption is hovered over with the mouse pointer. The AllowHtmlString property enables HTML formatting in the tooltip. If this property is set to Default , the feature is controlled by the ToolTipController.AllowHtmlText global setting.

The code below enables HTML tags for a particular item, and specifies a formatted tool tip. For the complete list of supported tags, see HTML Text Formatting.

C#
VB.NET

layoutControlGroup2.OptionsToolTip.AllowHtmlString = DevExpress.Utils.DefaultBoolean.True;
layoutControlGroup2.OptionsToolTip.ToolTip = "Enter a <b>valid</b> address";

layoutControlGroup2.OptionsToolTip.AllowHtmlString = DevExpress.Utils.DefaultBoolean.True
layoutControlGroup2.OptionsToolTip.ToolTip = "Enter a <b>valid</b> address"

The result is shown below.

You can also override the HTML formatting setting for a particular item when handling the ToolTipController.BeforeShow event. For this purpose, use the ToolTipControllerShowEventArgs.AllowHtmlText property of the ToolTipControllerShowEventArgs object passed as a parameter to the event handler.
