You are right, it doesn't work well as you pass over cells.

I put it in the mousemove event, and did a
ToolTip.show(text,System.MouseX,System.MouseY,True)

and that produced an even better situation.

multiline support would be very fine.

Thanks William!

I've wanted this feature for a long while. I tried it, and it "sort of" works. The help text shows up nicely for 2-3 seconds when I first mouse into the listbox from some other control.

However, when I move from cell to cell within the listbox, each cell's help text just flashes up and then instantly disappears, like some sort of subliminal message!

So for now, I am getting better results by putting my code in theMouseMove event, and using the RowFromXY function to determine which cell is being visited by the mouse.

(I tested this using RB 2009 v2.1, Mac OS X 10.5.6.)
