ToolTips for individual CheckedListBox elements?

[kru]

Hi All,

I'm trying to figure out a way to get ToolTips to appear for each
individual checkbox inside a CheckedListBox. I'm working with a small
amount of space on screen & am avoiding individual checkboxes, I need
to provide further information to users via the ToolTips as the
checkbox captions are a little ambiguous given the space

Searching online reveals very little info on this question so I was
hoping if anyone knew if the above could be achieved?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Kru

Have you considered using a ListView with checkboxes instead? That one has
builtin support for tooltips.

If that's not possible you'll have to use the ToolTip control and update
it's text as you move the mouse inside the listbox (handle the MouseMove
event, find out what item you're at and update the tooltip text accordingly)

ListView with checkboxes sounds like exactly what I need!

Thanks!
