Im trying to implement tooltips for the column headers of a listview control in VB.net by using API Calls.
So far what i got is that i need to get the column header handler and call sendmessage passing the TOOLINFO struct, but i cant get it to work, to be honest, i cant make a working code.

Does anyone have a code of this in C# or VB.net? all i have found is (unreadable, for me, c++ code).

i saw that article, but does not explain how to do it, and it uses a totally different aproach, plus a lot of not needed features, i want to keep listview as lightweight as possible, i just need tooltips on the headers.
