How to set tooltip for a ListviewItem

Question

I am using a ListView with a few fixed-size columns.

The text in the rows may be too large to fit in the column, so I would like to make it so that when the user hovers over the ListViewItem, it shows a tooltip with more text.

I tried setting the ToolTipText property of the ListViewItem:

ListViewItem iListView = new ListViewItem("add");  iListView.ToolTipText = "Add Expanded"; myListView.Items.Add(iListView); 

Unfortunately, it didn't seem to work. How can I get ListViewItems to show ToolTips?

Answer 1

Set the ListView's ShowItemToolTips property to true.
