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.
ok but that seems like the easy way out. is there not an example of cade that anyone could give me that shows how tool tip is coded. like i said before i am very new to VB.Net.
In this thread Kleinma is using tooltips with a listview, should be similar.

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.

Hi adamlee24,
I found some code in a forum about 'BallonToolTip', hope it works!
Sorry about the amount of code!

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.
