ui.igGridTooltips

ui.igGridTooltips_image

Both the igGrid and igHierarchicalGrid controls feature tooltips in the grid. Tooltips appear when the user hovers the mouse pointer over a grid cell and are configurable to adjust duration and visibility options. Further information regarding the classes, options, events, methods and themes of this API are available under the associated tabs above.

The following code snippet demonstrates how to initialize the igGrid control.
