Public Property CellToolTip As Object

Property Value

Type	Description
Object

An object that is used as the cell tooltip.

Remarks

The SpreadsheetControl.ShowCellToolTipMode property determines when a cell tooltip is displayed. By default, a tooltip contains the cell text and is displayed when the cell content does not fit the cell.

Use the CellToolTip to specify a custom tooltip container object or a custom text to display.

You can also change the default tooltip binding to show a cell property other than the Cell.DisplayText. To accomplish this, change the binding in the data template in XAML. The following markup snippet illustrates how to display a cell formula in a tooltip.
