No, it applies to the whole control, not specific rows.

i've seen something like that out at foxtalk...they used a grid though and made it look like a listbox...you can go to:

sign up for a free subscription, it will give you 30-days and then go to VIEW PAST ISSUES (over on the right-hand side and look for the August 2002 issue... "Playing With the GUI in Visual FoxPro 7: ComboBox Item ToolTip Control " download the sample code and it will show you better than I could tell you Slighthaze = NULL

Use the ItemTips property. If the item is longer than the width of the listbox, it will show the item.

...but keep in mind, the item must be wider than the entire control, not just a particular column in order to work.
