Dynamic tooltip

Question

I have a tooltip defined for a datagridview cell. It displays when I hover the mouse over the cell. I'd like however to update the contents of that tooltip when it displays. How can I best do that? Is there a tooltip display event? The mousehover event doesn't seem to really work in this regard.

Thanks

If I get what you're talking about doing, there isn't an event like you're talking about.

What you'd have to do is handle the DGV's CellMouseHover and probably CellMouseLeave events to interrogate the cell the mouse is over and set the ToolTip's Text property as the mouse moves.
