public void SetupToolTips() { 
  Tooltip t = new ToolTip(this.components);
  
  t.SetToolTip(mylistview,"My list view");
}

Thanks!

But how can I attach the tooltip to each of the items?

Keep calling SetToolTip() for each item you want to set a tooltip for

I'm sorry, I don't understand. I tried doing setTooltip( listviewitem,"adf"); but it doesnt allow me to do that.

Could you post a quick sample? Thanks.
