[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, "")

Enabled the ListView1.ShowItemToolTips = True.

ListView1.View = View.LargeIcon
       ListView1.ShowItemToolTips = True
       For lcount As Integer = 1 To 3
            ListView1.Items.Add(lcount.ToString, lcount - 1).ToolTipText = "Item" & lcount
        Next

Set OwnerDraw Property of tooltip control and also add two events - Draw and Popup.
