By default, the dhtmlxgridcell has a tooltip that displays the text content inside the cell. I want to be able to over-ride this , to provide my own custom tooltip, dynamically.
I have tried doing
var gridCell = grid.cells(rowId, colIndex);
if(gridCell)
gridCell.cell.title = "Custom title";
But the this doesn’t take effect. The tooltip behaviour is still as usual, showing the text content of the cell.
Please help.
You can use setAttribute() method:
grid.cells(i,j).setAttribute("title","new value");Hi Olga,
Thanks a lot. It worked.
I am trying to understand , why it didn’t succeed using the el.title way.
Also, is there any documentation available of all these API methods being used. I find the documentation available on the site to be insufficient.
Thanks , once again.

Grid generates its own tooltip values, which are resetting default ones.
You can still use custom tooltips , for that you need to block default mouseover reaction as
grid.attachEvent("onMouseOver", function(){
return false;
});

It may be not so perfect, but it is definitely exists
