Customize tooltip...

Using VB in VS.NET 2003,
I have a tree view control docked in a slider and populated with nodes. I
have written code that displays information about each node as the user
hovers over it - this works great.
What I would like, though, is that when you move the mouse over an item
whose text is partially obscured in the VS.NET TreeView, a popup appears to
show more of the text - and the popup is not at then end of the pointer, but
rather directly over the partially hidden text. How can I accomplish this?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

With very much work, and probably not easy because it is not standard.
The change to get an answer on this in a question is probably one in a
million.

I would try to google for that in your case and be happy if you find an
example in C++, C# and very lucky when it is Visual Basic,

This is something C programmers take mostly more time for than Visual Basic
developpers.
