    Resolved [RESOLVED] tool tip

    hi
    I'm very new to VB.NET 2003. I am trying to view items in a list box which are to long for the list box. so have found out that i have to use tool tip to pop up the item.
    I do not have a clue how to do it.
    Please could anybody help.

    This is possible, but have you considered using a listview instead of a listbox? You can set it to detail view, add a collumn, and add some items. The user can then just resize the collumn if needed.

    Hi,

    Just add the Tooltip object to your form. It's in the toolbox! That adds all the tooltip properties for you to play with.

    you have got to be kidding. All that code just to get a tool tip to show up.
    I will look through it anyway.
    Thanks everyone for all your help.
