Hi all....

I doing Emp_attendance works in C#(Windows Application), in that grid view i am using many column colors in depend on condition. the following grid sample is simplified my question...

VB

-----------------------------------------------------
empname   |  1   | 2   | 3 | 4 | 5 |.....|11|...|30or 31(in depend on month)
----------------------------------------------------
  xxx     |  P   | P   | P |   | P |.....|  |.....
  ddd     |  P   | P   | A |   | A |.....|  |.....
  rrr     |  A   | A   | P |   | A |.....|  |.....
----------------------------------------------------

1)In this grid view the Column Header 1 to 31 is days in month
2)P=Present , A=Absent.
3)See the Grid view column 4 & 11 that column Back color is gray. Because 4th & 11th is Sunday so the employee attendance is not fill.
4)This case is not take the gridview column index because in this gridview column count is changed depend on month(Ex--Jan(31)Feb(28or29)Apr(30)), So the column index is not taking for this case...

I want the mouse enter that particular 4th & 11th column the tooltip is display the message "The Day is Sunday"

C#

private void GridView_MouseHover(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
           // Color gridcolor = GridView.CurrentCell.Style.BackColor;
          //  GridView.CurrentCell.Style.BackColor = Color.Gray;
           // GridView.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Gray;
         //  MessageBox.Show(gridcolor.ToString());
               if (GridView.CurrentCell.Style.BackColor == Color.Gray)
           {

Gray color is set for Grid Cell's Forecolor or BackColor ?

You need not check for color , if your sure that your column will remain constant (4th Column)
then get the column name and display tooltip whenever mouse hover on this column..

C#

private void GridView_MouseHover(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   // columnname of the grid
   String columnName = GridView.HeaderRow.Cells[i].Text;
   
   // check for your desired columnname 
   if(columnName == yourdesiredcolumnName)
   {         
        GridView.CurrentCell.ToolTipText = "Sunday";
   }  
}

1.I know your column index will change often, but your column name will not change rite.
so you can get the column name from the Gridcontrol and display tooltip only for this column

let me know if have any issue.

It's just simple
You are using this code

private void GridView_MouseHover(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
           // Color gridcolor = GridView.CurrentCell.Style.BackColor;
          //  GridView.CurrentCell.Style.BackColor = Color.Gray;
           // GridView.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Gray;
         //  MessageBox.Show(gridcolor.ToString());
               if (GridView.CurrentCell.Style.BackColor == Color.Gray)
           {
               GridView.CurrentCell.ToolTipText = "Sunday";
           }
        }

but [current cell] is the cell which you select not hover over
Instead use this:-

private void GridView_CellMouseMove(object sender, DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs e)
       {
           try
           {
               if (GridView.CurrentRow.Index > -1 && GridView.CurrentCell.Style.BackColor == Color.Gray)
               {
                   GridView.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[e.ColumnIndex].ToolTipText = "Sunday";
               }
           }
           catch (Exception Ex) {  }
       }

Solution 2

if you use DataGridView (WinForms), you can solve the problem easier: DataGridView class has event CellToolTipTextNeeded
handle this event to set a tool tip

C#

private void grid_CellToolTipTextNeeded(object sender, DataGridViewCellToolTipTextNeededEventArgs e)
        {
            int year = 2013;
            int month = 12; 
            var dt = new DateTime(year, month, e.ColumnIndex);
            if (dt.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Saturday)
               e.ToolTipText = "Sunday";
        }

sir the gridview column index is not permanent,because month wise the day is changing so the gridview column index also changed..

Alexander Sharykin 13-Dec-13 3:14am

this is definitely a bad idea to rely on any view properties (such as cell color) in your business logic
though "column index is not permanent", it's possible to know day of week.
variant of solution
int year = 2013;
int month = 12;
var dt = new DateTime(year, month, e.ColumnIndex);
if (dt.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Saturday)
e.ToolTipText = "Sunday";
