Tooltip for listview subitems

[Al]

Hi!
How can I add tooltip for subitems of listview when text
longer than visible space?

Tooltips can only be applied to controls, not listbox items.

If you're interested in a commercial solution I sell a tooltip control that
can be used just about anywhere.

Check out my xRay Tools BubbleTooltip control on my site.

Hi Al,

I made it like this:

Private Sub listView_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles listView.MouseMove
Dim lvi As ListViewItem
Dim loc As Point

lvi = listView.GetItemAt(e.X, e.Y)
If lvi Is Nothing OrElse lvi.Tag.trim = "" Then
tooltip.RemoveAll()
Else
tooltip.SetToolTip(listView, lvi.Tag)
End If
End Sub

I stored the text for the tooltip of the istViewItem in the .Tag
property before.
