ListBox Tooltip

cd
Is it possible to add a tool tip to an asp .net listbox control utilizing
javascript or another method? I would like to add a tooltip when the user
hovers over the item in the listbox. I was seeking a code sample.

Thank you,

Short answer: Yes.

The asp:listbox renders as an HTML SELECT element.
Adding the html attribute "title" to the rendered SELECT will give you
a tooltip

for VB
<listbox>.Attri butes.Add("titl e", "Title goes here")
- and you don't even need javascript!

HOWEVER (and this is probably your problem) IE does not implement title
for the SELECT element.

If you really, really, realy need to fake it, you can use the
mouseover/ mouseout events to show/hide a seperate "tooltip" HTML
element.
Don't forget the IE windowed controls z-index bug!

Hello, Using MSIE 6.0 and above, with javascript is it possible to display an individual tooltip for each item in a listbox? I need this functionality to show the listitems that are longer than the listbox size. Please refer to this link to get the idea of what I would like to do. Unfortunately this one is for VB.

Hi! If you move the mouse over an item that's part of a treeview and wider than the treeview, a tooltip showing the full item text will be displayed. I try to do this for ListBoxes and ComboBoxes. For ListBoxes I got it working, but not for the ListBox part of ComboBoxes. Do you know any sample code? Thanks in advance! Timo

I'm working with Visual Basic .Net 2005 I'm trying to create a tooltip for a bound listbox and a combobox. I want the tooltip to be of the item the mouse is hovering over. Is there an easy way to do this? I stumbled across some code that required identifying the position of the mouse in X, Y and then finding the height of each item, etc, etc. Is that going to be my best option?

In VS 2008, is there a way to have the individual list item description to show up in a tooltip when you have your mouse over the list item? I have a list item that has descriptions that are wider that the width of the listbox and you can't always tell what the item says since the last half of the item is cut off. The ToolTip only shows the value of the tooltip for the control itself so it always shows the same thing.
