>Well, you know, as I'm not very interested in Christmas, too,

I'm only interested in getting it out of my way, or me away from it, which isn't easily done here.

>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...

Ah - the first column! And that actually makes sense.

>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.

I wish. From what I've seen in how intellisense works, it uses a lisbox, and somehow manages for the tips to show to the left or to the right of the listbox, not to cover the current row. It could be just a floating editbox, but then this would mean it does catch some event of the kind. Since it reacts on keypress or click only, that means it's either in the valid or interactivechange - and not a true tooltip.
