VB 2008 - ListView tool tips

[TysonLPrice]

No. That property applies to every ListViewItem.

I'm not saying that your code is trash, but what I'm saying is that it's better just to turn on a property with two clicks, than write a bunch of code for no reason. And if you have a custom control that has other changes you've made, then all you need to do is turn on that property and delete your ToolTip code. It just clutters things up.

But either way, it's important that I mention this. If someone else comes across this thread and all they see is your method, they may get the idea that no other method exists.

OK...fair enough concerning someone else seeing this. I painted a listview, set ShowItemToolTips to true, loaded three rows and three columns and the behavior is not consistant. Additionally, I went down this path because of that and I wanted them on all the sub items. I googled that and found the same question many times including a post here with a method similar to what I did. Please take the code I posted and comment out the routine. Set ShowItemToolTips to true and see if it works on all the items and sub items consistantly.

If it does I will ask for this post to be deleted.
