ValidatorCalloutExtender not displaying in Gridview

The title speaks for itself but here is the situation. I have a page with 2 gridviews. The first one is used to search products you want use. These articles can be added to the other gridview. This second gridview contains all the selected items with a textbow where the user can change the amount they want to use.

Now comes the problem, I added a valdiator to the textbox which makes sure that the amount isn't higher than the amount which is available in the stock.

I added the ValidatorCalloutExtender to this validator. Whenever the validation is caused the message isn't displayed. The validator works because I can't go further untill I change the amount to the right value.

The css class I used to customize the ValidatorCalloutExtender works on all my other pages. where it isn't used in a gridview.

Is there any way to make this work when not used in the editTemplate of the gridview?

I'm assuming that it is not working because of the ValidationGroup. It should be unique for all GridView-Rows. This could be achieved for example by using the GridView's RowDataBound event to set it programmatically:

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
      if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
      {
            TextBox tbx = (TextBox)e.Row.FindControl("MyTextBox");
            RequiredFieldValidator rfv = (RequiredFieldValidator)e.Row.FindControl("MyReq");
            string validationGroupText = "ValidationTest" + (e.Row.DataItemIndex + 1).ToString();
            tbx.ValidationGroup = validationGroupText;
            rfv.ValidationGroup = validationGroupText;
      }
}
