Event Data

The event handler receives an argument of type TextTipFetchEventArgs containing data related to this event. The following TextTipFetchEventArgs properties provide information specific to this event.

Property	Description

ColumnFooter	Gets whether the cell is in the column footer.
ColumnHeader	Gets whether the cell is in the column headers.
FetchCellNote	Gets whether to fetch the cell note.

Remarks

This event is raised by the OnTextTipFetch method when the cursor is over a cell and the text tip or cell note is to be displayed.

This event works for both text tips and cell notes.

Use this event to display text tips or cell notes, to respond to the display of text tips or cell notes, to configure text tips or cell notes, or to not display a text tip or a cell note. Text tips are displayed for cells in the Spread component when the pointer is over that cell. Cell notes are displayed for cells in the Spread component when the pointer is over a cell note indicator, a red square in the upper corner of the cell. Cells can be in the data area or the headers.

Whether the TextTipFetch event occurs when the Spread component has the focus depends on the setting of the TextTipPolicy property using the values in the TextTipPolicy enumeration.

For text tips, the TextTipFetch event does not occur until after the pointer has been over the cell or header without moving for longer than the time period specified by the TextTipDelay property. For cell notes, the CellNoteIndicatorVisible property determines whether the TextTipFetch event occurs when the pointer is over the cell note indicator.

For more details on the individual event arguments, refer to TextTipFetchEventArgs members.

Example

This example raises the TextTipFetch event.

private void fpSpread1_TextTipFetch(object sender, FarPoint.Win.Spread.TextTipFetchEventArgs e)
{
     e.ShowTip = true;
     e.TipText = "I am over cell " + e.Row + " ," + e.Column;
     e.View.TextTipAppearance.Font = New Font("Comic Sans MS", 10, FontStyle.Bold);
     e.View.TextTipAppearance.BackColor = Color.Yellow;
     e.View.TextTipAppearance.ForeColor = Color.Red;
}

Visual Basic

Private Sub FpSpread1_TextTipFetch(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As FarPoint.Win.Spread.TextTipFetchEventArgs) Handles FpSpread1.TextTipFetch
     e.ShowTip = True
     e.TipText = "I am over cell " e.Row & " ," & e.Column
     e.View.TextTipAppearance.Font = New Font("Comic Sans MS", 10, FontStyle.Bold)
     e.View.TextTipAppearance.BackColor = Color.Yellow
     e.View.TextTipAppearance.ForeColor = Color.Red
End Sub
