Tamar --

While I have used a different approach than you for this first part of what you described, I completely agree with your last statement

The tricky part is making sure you return the value from the right row. Unfortunately, the only way I found to do that was to use GridHitTest to figure out which row and then ActiveCell to land on the right one.

The unfortunate result of this technique is that it causes focus to transfer to the grid (if it wasn't already on the grid).

The control has an access method for ToolTipText as well that returns what I want displayed. The tricky part is making sure you return the value from the right row. Unfortunately, the only way I found to do that was to use GridHitTest to figure out which row and then ActiveCell to land on the right one.
