Column Picker: Add tooltip that inherits from _ColumnOptionalConfigs.HeaderTooltip_

thekingofspain opened this issue · 1 comments

In a large grid with many nested group columns and columns there can be duplicate Headers with the same or similar value. Since there is no easy way to change how the column picker lists its columns Headers (aka displaying the column group Header in addition to the column Headers), the easiest and most grid consistent solution would be add a tooltip to each column in the column picker that inherits the Column's ColumnOptionalConfigs.HeaderTooltip property value.

This does require that the developer set the HeaderTooltip for each column.

Example:

  • A Grid displays a fixed number of specific events per row.
  • Each event uses a Group column.
  • Each Group column contains multiple columns.
  • Each Group column contains a column with a Header of "Status".
  • Each Column with a Header value of "Status" has its Columns.ColumnOptionalConfigs.HeaderTooltip value set to a string value that follows as pattern similar to "<GroupColumn.Header>: <Column.Header>".

Hi @thekingofspain,

Thank you for your suggestion, we'll discuss the feasibility of this feature internally, and let you know.

Cheers,
