Tooltiptext over a listbox?

[daninthemix]

I have a series of listboxes where the data goes off to the right and out of the box (too big for the control). I'd like the user to be able to hover over the listbox and have tooltiptext come up that shows the entire value of the field.

Is there any way to do this?

Thx

I suggest that you use the forms OnCurrent event with something like this...

ListBox1.ControlTipText = ListBox1

You might also neet to use the above in the after update event of each list box to show the current value after the user has modified the value of the list box.

Thanks for that, that's great. The only thing is, these listboxes have more than one field in! I need the tooltiptext to display the entire contents of that row in the listbox.

EDIT - figured it out myself.
