Need help displaying Tooltip in Listview.

[elmorro]

I am using a Listview in my VB6 app. The third column of the Listview displays an employee id.
Is there a way to display the employee's name in the Tooltip when a user hovers over a cell in the employee id column?

Thanks in advance,
elmorro

The MouseMove event for the ListView returns the X-Y coords of the mouse. Use that info to calculate which cell you are in and set the ToolTipText as needed. The query that fills the listview will need to fetch the name when you fill the listview. I would put the name in a column with zero width
