Display custom tooltip for columns in grid in JavaScript (ES5) Grid control

01 Dec 2021 / 1 minute to read

To display a custom ToolTip (EJ2 Tooltip), you can render the Grid control inside the Tooltip component and set the target as “.e-rowcell”. The tooltip is displayed when hovering the grid cells.

Change the tooltip content for the grid cells by using the following code in the beforeRender event.

Copied to clipboard
function beforeRender(args) {
  // event triggered before render the tooltip on target element.
  tooltip.content = args.target.closest("td").innerText;
}
