Show tooltip for truncated cell values.

Cell values that are too long to fit in the column get truncated. This is fine, but I want to show the user a tooltip with the full value when they hover over the cell.

My first attempt has been to subscribe to the grid's onMouseEnter event to show the tooltip but I'm not sure how to get the cell's value here.

How can I get the data item for a given row and cell index?

Has anyone done this before? Help?

Thanks!

Just add the slick.autotooltip plugin - https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid/blob/master/plugins/slick.autotooltips.js.

You. Are. My. Hero.

Thank you! Can't believe I missed that when it was right under my nose the whole time.

sorry if this is a silly question, but how do I 'connect' this to the grid. I'm pretty new to SlickGrid.

mygrid.AutoTooltips() isn't right....

mygrid.registerPlugin(new Slick.AutoTooltips());
