Hover Text Box Ideas?

I am attempting to place AD Groups over a AD Group Count in a UDGrid. I have used this Code to place the group name in the “Title” but this un-formatable

            $UserGroupsCount = @((Get-ADUser $_ -properties MemberOf -ErrorAction Stop).MemberOf | Get-ADGroup ).count
            $UserGroups = @((Get-ADUser $_ -properties MemberOf -ErrorAction Stop).MemberOf | Get-ADGroup ).Name
            [pscustomobject]@{
                enabled = New-UDIcon -Icon $enabled
                displayName = $_.displayName
                SAMAccountName = $_.SAMAccountName
                title = $_.title
                GCount = New-UDHtml -Markup "<a href=' ' title='$UserGroups' style='background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#000000;text-decoration:none'>$UserGroupsCount</a>"

This is simple but not very stylish. I tried a UDButton but it got very complicated very quickly and it required a Click to activate.

Just looking for a different point of view.

Thanks in Advance.

Inside my Grids I use ToolTips to display “on hover” information.

New-UDTooltip -Place top -Type info -Effect float -TooltipContent { "30" } -Content {
       New-UDHtml -Markup "Markup with Group Name"
}

I personally use a button inside the tooltip, then within the onClick I use Set-UDClipboard to capture whatever hover info I have.

So in a Grid where I have a customer name then the tooltip will display say the customer id when I click the id will be copied to my clipboard. Adds some neat functionality.

New-UDTooltip -Place top -Type info -Effect float -TooltipContent { $_.CustomerId } -Content {
       New-UDButton -Text "Customer Name" -OnClick {
           Set-UDClipboard -Data $($_.CustomerId)
       }
}

Excellent Advice. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I modified my code as follows:

$UserGroupsCount = @((Get-ADUser $_ -properties MemberOf -ErrorAction Stop).MemberOf | Get-ADGroup ).count
                $UserGroups = (Get-ADUser $_ -properties MemberOf -ErrorAction Stop).MemberOf | Get-ADGroup | sort Name | ConvertTo-Html -Fragment -Property Name 
                [pscustomobject]@{
                    enabled = New-UDIcon -Icon $enabled
                    displayName = $_.displayName
                    SAMAccountName = $_.SAMAccountName
                    title = $_.title
                    GCount = New-UDTooltip -Place right -Type info -Effect float -TooltipContent { New-UDHtml -Markup "$userGroups"  } -Content { New-UDHtml -Markup "$UserGroupsCount" }

This allow some simple formating as well without being overly complicated.

Thanks Again.
