>>Actually, label should not overlap header (MS KB is not always good :). Label should be placed on top of header, while header height should be reduced to the minimum (just to give user opportunity to mouse-down and move columns). It will eliminate good part of problems.

>I remember looking at that, but it looked kind of funny (non-standard) in practice...Ultimately, I've found that though the development team was very concerned about multi-line headers and "complete descriptions," the system users have never mentioned any problems with single-line headers, after all, you see them in Exchange, Windows Explorer, etc. Also, multilines tend to take up a lot of space, as I've seen in a PB app recently.

A header.ToolTipText would be a nicer way, if it existed. Or does it exist? Never checked, really.
