Hi Mike,
basically, it should be possible. It seems the grid uses a label to display the tooltip. But unfortunately, this is all internal API.
Attached is a sample which shows a proof of concept. I used ILSpy to analyze the C1FlexGrid internals. The sample makes heavy use of reflection, and I have to access a property which has an obfuscated name - thus the sample might not work with other versions than .382.
Maybe the C1 guys can add some public API to access the tooltip control.
Best regards
Wolfgang

Hello,
The solution suggested by @Wolfgang seems to be the only solution for now because it is directly not possible to access that tooltip.
@Wolfgang, thank you for the explanation and the sample.

Prabhat Sharma.

Thanks lots. Will use that for now, stuck in exception handling in case it breaks on later versions.
