Is it possible somehow to have column header and hint ?
There is some kind of autohint feature - when column is too narrow for header to be displayed in full
but I need to prevent it with short Header, that fits and long hint displayed on hover over
Could it be a bug? I set a hint for column, but that is not being set to SlickGrids ToolTip
Hint only used for form
Thanks @volkanceylan for getting back to me. So it's feature then. Since there is Hint attribute in Column.cs file, -if I may suggest- why not transfer hint of the Column to toolTip of the SlickGrid column?
I work around like this for now (but I feel there is such a 'little' step required:
protected getColumns() {
var c = super.getColumns();
c[Q.indexOf(c, x => x.field == UsersRow.Fields.FieldWithLongCaption)].toolTip = "Very long hint/tooltip, different from Column header";
return c;
}
Hint is only useful in a form, and a hint in a form might not be meaningful for a hint at a column. You may do as you show though.
But I can make Hint in column.cs, which is for grid? (at least Visual Studoi shows me, there is Hint). Why not make it work? just a suggestion. It is supported by slickgrid and you make it seem like it's supported in Columns.cs... It is just logical extension. Just my 2 cents. You wanna make it declarative on one hand and on other hand you want this simple Form supported feature to go in wain, because of what? Answer this simple Q and u will see...
Its your opinion and i said no
