Dynamically add tooltips to kendo grid rows of a column - kendo-ui

Question

I have a column with some notes displaying in the rows. Since the notes are huge, I have cut short the notes in the controller itself and sent that to my aspx page. What I want to achieve is, I want to display the complete notes in the form of a tool tip on mouse over of the grid row ( or if possible exactly on cell ). Is there any way to achieve this? Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

Answer 1

Posting the answer as it might help anyone.
I got that working after doing this...
columns.Bound(p => p.partialNotes).Title("Description").HeaderHtmlAttributes(new { style = "text-align:center" }).HtmlAttributes(new { style = "text-align:left" }).Width("8%").HtmlAttributes(new { title = "#= completeNotes #" });
I have just added HtmlAttributes(new { title = "#= completeNotes #" })
So now when I place the mouse over the Description column data , I get the complete Notes as a tool tip.

Using a 3rd party widget is also a possibility. I've added qtip tips to column headers like this
KendoUI grid column array item
{
field:"property",
headerTemplate:kendo.template($("#h_Entity_property").html())
},
The header template
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="lib/Craga89-qTip2-bfcc9ef/dist/jquery.qtip.min.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="lib/Craga89-qTip2-bfcc9ef/util/qtip.util.css"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/Craga89-qTip2-bfcc9ef/dist/jquery.qtip.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/Craga89-qTip2-bfcc9ef/util/Dialogues.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/Craga89-qTip2-bfcc9ef/util/Qtip2Util.js"></script>
<script type="text/x-kendo-template" id="h_Entity_property">
Property
<img onclick="Qtip.local(this, 'i_Entity_property')" src="img/info.gif"/>
<div id="i_Entity_property" style="display:none;">
Elaborate a bit...
</div>
</script>
Tooltip generator
var Qtip = {
local:function (element, contentId) {
$(element).qtip($.extend({}, qTipSharedOptions, {
content:{
text:$('#' + contentId).html(),
title:{
text:' ',
button:true
}
}
}
));
},
...
};
var qTipSharedOptions = {
position:{
at:'top right', // Position the tooltip above the link
my:'bottom left',
viewport:$(window), // Keep the tooltip on-screen at all times
effect:false // Disable positioning animation
},
style:{
classes:'ui-tooltip-tipsy ui-tooltip-shadow'
},
show:{
ready:true,
event:false,
solo:true // Only show one tooltip at a time
},
hide:false
};

you can do like below:
$("#Kendo-grid-div-id").kendoTooltip({
filter: "td:nth-child(2),td:nth-child(3)", //comma separated multiple columns
position: "bottom", //possible values: bottom,top,left,right,center
content: function(e){
var content = e.target.html();
return content;
}
}).data("kendoTooltip");
