[RESOLVED] tooltip problem

[kleinma]

Ok, wondering if anyone can shed some light on this one for me.

I have a listview (details view) that when you right click on a listviewitem, a tooltip pops up with some additional information. Here is the code I use

Private Sub lvwListing_MouseDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles lvwListing.MouseDown
 
        If optTerrName.Checked Then
            Dim LVI As ListViewItem = lvwListing.GetItemAt(e.X, e.Y)
            If LVI Is Nothing Then Return
            If e.Button = MouseButtons.Right Then
                tipTerr.SetToolTip(lvwListing, LVI.Tag.ToString)
                tipTerr.Active = True
            End If
        End If
 
    End Sub

Now the problem is that the first time a user right clicks an item, the tooltip is not shown. If they right click on an item, and then right click it again, it does work. Also any right clicks after that also work fine, its just the first one. I assue it has something to do with focus or something, but what is odd is when I put a break point, on the first click all the code runs, including the settooltip and active = true parts, so I don't know why the tip does not display. Any ideas? I have already tried various things like manually calling the focus event of the listview at the start of the above routine, also setting the selected and focused properties to true for the listviewitem prior to the tip display. Also I tried setting the ShowAlways property of the tooltip to true. None change the way its working.
