Let your data column have a cell style with DataTrigger which sets the Tooltip depending on the value: <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellStyle> <Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell"> <Style.Triggers> <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding StadiumCapacity}" Value="42055"> <Setter Property="ToolTip" Value="THIS IS TOO SMALL" /> <Setter Property="Background" Value="Red" /> </DataTrigger> </Style.Triggers> </Style> </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellStyle> Initially, when the grid loads - the tooltips are set correctly. But if you edit a cell and change its value to 42055 then the background is set to Red (as expected), but the tooltip does not update.
