    tooltip hint


    hi ,

    i'm somewhat new to C# .. so i might be asking a silly question.. but i
    have tried searching forums after reading msdn docs , for this.

    I have a column for dates in my datagridview. As soon as the user
    starts typing the date into it one of the cells. i want a tooltip to
    popup nearby and say 'press T to enter todays date' much like MS word -
    when u type jan... a tooltip popups telling you 'press ENTER to INSERT
    January'


    Thanks

      I bet you need to inherit the grid using partial class to do that. If I were
      you I will do this in textbox. If the goal at the end is just inserting data
      ...

          acutually i mamaged to get a tooltip to force show during the
          EditingControlS howing event , because this returns e.Control , which
          can be passed to the tooltip shw method.... is'nt there any other
          envent like this?? i want the tooltip to show during "cellBeginE dit"

          i can resort to API .. createWindow .. and display the tooltip .. but
          i'm keeping that as my last option!

          now about the inherting thing , is there a way i can make the
          cellBeginEdit event return e.Control ??

          sry i took so long!

          thanks
