Cell information

In order to get the cell’s information when hover the mouse on a cell in WinForms GridGroupingControl, TableControlCellMouseHoverEnter event can be used and cell rectangle width and height of a cell can be retrieved RangeInfoToRectangle.

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControlCellMouseHoverEnter += gridGroupingControl1_TableControlCellMouseHoverEnter;

void gridGroupingControl1_TableControlCellMouseHoverEnter(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.Grouping.GridTableControlCellMouseEventArgs e)
{
    Rectangle rectangle = new Rectangle();
    e.TableControl.CurrentCell.MoveTo(e.Inner.RowIndex, e.Inner.ColIndex);
    GridCurrentCell currentCell = e.TableControl.CurrentCell;

    if (e.Inner.ColIndex > 0)
    {
        rectangle = e.TableControl.RangeInfoToRectangle(GridRangeInfo.Cell(e.Inner.RowIndex, e.Inner.ColIndex));
    }

    if (currentCell.Renderer != null)
    {
        string text = "Table: " + e.TableControl.TableDescriptor.Name + "\n"
                    + "Col Index: " + e.Inner.ColIndex + "\n"
                    + "Cell Bounds: " + rectangle + "\n"
                    + "Cell Width: " + rectangle.Width + "\n"
                    + "Cell Height: " + rectangle.Height + "\n"
                    + "Col Text: " + currentCell.Renderer.ControlText;

        GridTableControl tableControl = gridGroupingControl1.TableControl;
        tooltip1.SetToolTip(tableControl, text + "\nCellSize: " + cellSize);
        tooltip1.Active = true;
    }
}

AddHandler Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableControlCellMouseHoverEnter, AddressOf gridGroupingControl1_TableControlCellMouseHoverEnter

Private Sub gridGroupingControl1_TableControlCellMouseHoverEnter(sender As Object, e As Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.Grouping.GridTableControlCellMouseEventArgs)
    Dim rectangle As New Rectangle()
    e.TableControl.CurrentCell.MoveTo(e.Inner.RowIndex, e.Inner.ColIndex)
    Dim currentCell As GridCurrentCell = e.TableControl.CurrentCell

    If e.Inner.ColIndex > 0 Then
        rectangle = e.TableControl.RangeInfoToRectangle(GridRangeInfo.Cell(e.Inner.RowIndex, e.Inner.ColIndex))
    End If

    If currentCell.Renderer IsNot Nothing Then
        Dim text As String = "Table: " & e.TableControl.TableDescriptor.Name & vbCrLf &
                             "Col Index: " & e.Inner.ColIndex & vbCrLf &
                             "Cell Bounds: " & rectangle.ToString() & vbCrLf &
                             "Cell Width: " & rectangle.Width & vbCrLf &
                             "Cell Height: " & rectangle.Height & vbCrLf &
                             "Col Text: " & currentCell.Renderer.ControlText

        Dim tableControl As GridTableControl = gridGroupingControl1.TableControl
        tooltip1.SetToolTip(tableControl, text & vbCrLf & "CellSize: " & cellSize)
        tooltip1.Active = True
    End If
End Sub
