Everything is possible, it's just not always straight forward. Check out the attached project. Acknowledgements go to Nick Pateman for the source code.....

Well I know id vb2005 there is a tooltip componant that can be set as a balloon tip. I was wondering if that can then be used with the cell of a datagridview

The ToolTip.Show method is overloaded to take a point. So i suppose it is possible though i haven't tried it with a DGV cell. It will be a matter of associating the tooltip with the DGV and then get the location of the cell you want to display a tooltip for.

ToolTip.Show(SomeText, YourDataGridView, New point(CellLocationX,CellLocationy)

Or alternatively you can just display it at the current cursor position. Whatever suits your needs
