How to set tooltips on ListView Subitems in .Net

Question

I am trying to set the tool tip text for some of my subitems in my listview control. I am unable to get the tool tip to show up.

Anyone have any suggestions?

You can use the MouseMove event:

private void listview1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventargs e)
{
    ListViewItem item = listview1.GetItemAt(e.X, e.Y);
    ListViewHitTestInfo info = listview1.HitTest(e.X, e.Y);
    if((item != null) && (info.SubItem != null))
    {
        toolTip1.SetToolTip(listview1, info.SubItem.Text);
    }
    else
    {
        toolTip1.SetToolTip(listview1, "");
    }
}
