Or <br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Dim toolTip As ToolTip = New System.Windows.Forms.ToolT<wbr />ip()<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; toolTip.SetToolTip([Your datagridview], &quot;This is the tooltip text&quot;)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; toolTip.Active = True<br />
<br />
This way you can change the text for individual columns .. on the CellMouseEnter event.

Or

        Dim toolTip As ToolTip = New System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip()
        toolTip.SetToolTip([Your datagridview], "This is the tooltip text")
        toolTip.Active = True

hi kinger, the datagridview columns all have a tooltip property so you wouldnt need to handle it on any event

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I would like to to know how to go about creating a context menu for a datagridview when the user right-clicks on a row.<br />
<br />
I have dragged a ContextMenuStrip from the toolbox and dropped it onto my datagridview and have added a few items. <br />
<br />
When I run my application a context menu doesn't appear when I right-click on a populated datagridview row. <br />
<br />
Do I need to utilize a datagridview event to make it work? <br />
<br />
What do I need to know?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
