Microsoft's CListCtrl has support for displaying data in a grid, but requires a little help to display tooltips. This article will demonstrate how we can display tooltips when using a CListCtrl. The demo application allows you to experience the behavior of the different tooltip implementations. There are lots of advanced grid controls that extend the CListCtrl, so it is possible to display a tooltip when holding the mouse over a cell. But, because these grid controls can be very complex, it can be difficult to see how they do it.
