How to set tooltips on ListView Subitems in .Net
- by Ryan
I am trying to set the tool tip text for some of my subitems in my listview control. I am unable to get the tool tip to show up.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Private _timer As Timer
Private Sub Timer()
If _timer Is Nothing Then
_timer = New Timer
_timer.Interval = 500
AddHandler _timer.Tick, AddressOf TimerTick
_timer.Start()
End If
End Sub
Private Sub TimerTick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
_timer.Enabled = False
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseMove(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs)
If Not _timer.Enabled Then
Dim item = Me.HitTest(e.X, e.Y)
If Not item Is Nothing AndAlso Not item.SubItem Is Nothing Then
If item.SubItem.Text = "" Then
Dim tip = New ToolTip
Dim p = item.SubItem.Bounds
tip.ToolTipTitle = "Status"
tip.ShowAlways = True
tip.Show("FOO", Me, e.X, e.Y, 1000)
_timer.Enabled = True
End If
End If
End If
MyBase.OnMouseMove(e)
End Sub
