Tooltip (??) in a listview

tor
Hi
If a column in a listview isn't wide enough to show
the whole content you can place the cursor on that
item and you will get a tooltip?? box where you can
see the whole content of that item.

One example is the Windows Explorer, if the filename
is to long you can place the cursor on that filename
and you will be able to see the whole name.

How is this done?!?!?!

You need to set the LVS_EX_LABELTIP style to the listview. There's no way
to set it from .Net, so, what you do is call PostMessage/SendMessage API
with LVM_SETEXTENDED LISTVIEWSTYLE message on the listview handle.

Hi all, Please help! I'm attempting to apply tooltips to each individual item in VB.Net's Listview control. In VB6 it was easy - you just did the following (assumes "myListView" is the name of the ListView control): set lst = myListView.ListItems.Add lst.Text = "Test1"

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
