Question Show Tooltip On ListView Item

[sonia.sardana]

I have added three images to ImageList..I want to show tooltip....On listview item...

Public Class Form2

    Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        ListView1.View = View.LargeIcon
        ListView1.LargeImageList = ImageList1
        For lcount As Integer = 1 To 3
            ListView1.Items.Add(lcount.ToString, lcount - 1)
        Next

    End Sub

    Private Sub ListView1_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListView1.MouseLeave
        Dim a As New ToolTip
        a.SetToolTip(ListView1, "")
    End Sub

    Private Sub ListView1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles ListView1.MouseMove
        Dim thisItem As ListViewItem = ListView1.GetItemAt(e.X, e.Y)

        Dim a As New ToolTip

        If Not thisItem Is Nothing Then

            a.SetToolTip(ListView1, thisItem.Text)

        Else

            a.SetToolTip(ListView1, "")

        End If

    End Sub
End Class

Add a Tooltip component to your form and Show/Hide this, don't create a new new tooltip in MouseMove event.

You can also do this simpler with the ItemMouseHover event, which will display the tooltip like they usually do, ie when mouse hovers.

Private Sub ListView1_ItemMouseHover(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItemMouseHoverEventArgs) Handles ListView1.ItemMouseHover
    Me.ToolTip1.Show(e.Item.Text, CType(sender, IWin32Window))
End Sub

Sir sorry to say dat but no tooltip is shown,When i hovers the mouse over the item....But thx for the rely..I find the other way to do it-

Dim lvPlayer As ListViewItem
  lvPlayer = LvwPlayer.Items.Add(IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(sFileName), ImgPlayer.Images.Count - 1)
                    lvPlayer.ToolTipText = IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(sFileName)
                    lvPlayer.Tag = sFileName
