Hi Akshatha Raju,

You can use jqxTooltip in combination with the column’s rendered callback function.

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../jqwidgets/styles/jqx.base.css" type="text/css" />
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../scripts/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../jqwidgets/jqxcore.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../jqwidgets/jqxdata.js"></script> 
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../jqwidgets/jqxbuttons.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../jqwidgets/jqxscrollbar.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../jqwidgets/jqxmenu.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../jqwidgets/jqxgrid.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../jqwidgets/jqxgrid.selection.js"></script> 
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../jqwidgets/jqxgrid.columnsresize.js"></script> 
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../jqwidgets/jqxtooltip.js"></script> 
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../../scripts/gettheme.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            var theme = "";

            // prepare the data
            var data = new Array();

            var firstNames =

Hi.

Thank you for the example code to implement tooltips into a grid header.
In the example, I don’t understand how to change the text displayed in the tooltip to something other than the cell text.
Could you please supply sample code for this?
