Well, you know, as I'm not very interested in Christmas, too, I've spenden a few hours seeking for some way to get them working today. It is really no big problem to show the tooltips as they come from VFP (you just have to put the tips into the first (!) column of the list as the ItemTips always show only the first column. Then you can set its width to 0 - and they will be shown...

But... the tip overlays the text of the item in the list (which is actually in the second column), so it looks somewhat obscure, an then I need several lines, that's why I wrote "sort of tooltips". I still think, that the "real" resolution must be an event that fires as the item is being highlighted (finally, there MUST be some event...) so that one can react to it in any needed way.

Bye, it is about 2 a.m. here in Germany.
