I wouldn't say it has to be a third party control. If you want to set
the icon and set the title (which is in bold), then you can access the tool
tip apis through the P/Invoke layer and set those properties.
However, if you want full control over it, then yes, you will have to do
that kind of processing yourself, either drawing the tooltip yourself, or
using a third party control.
Hope this helps.

This can only be accomplished with a third party control. See the XRay
Tools Bubble Tooltips.

news:11**********************@g43g2000cwa.googlegr oups.com... Hello,
How do you format a tooltip (eg. make the text bold/italic/underline)?
Specifically, I want to format the tooltip that shows up when you
mouseover the column header in a DataGridView. I get a property called
'ToolTipText', but how do I format the text?
Thanks,
Soum
