 //by Richard Russell, April 2011//\\ \\  A **List View** control has built-in support for tooltips, but this feature requires your program to respond to the **LVN_EX_INFOTIP** notification, and in //BBC BASIC for Windows// that is only possible using assembler code.\\ \\  The program listed below uses an alternative technique that doesn't require assembler code. The position of the mouse cursor is constantly monitored, and when it moves over the List View control a tooltip is displayed. As shown, the displayed message depends only on what **item** (row) the mouse is hovering over, but it could easily be adapted so the message is specific to the **subitem** (column) as well.\\ \\  The code requires v4.70 of the Windows Common Controls, so won't work on versions of Windows prior to XP. It is also necessary to ensure that the **Use Windows XP visual styles** option is selected if the program is compiled.\\ \\  //by Richard Russell, April 2011//\\ \\  A **List View** control has built-in support for tooltips, but this feature requires your program to respond to the **LVN_EX_INFOTIP** notification, and in //BBC BASIC for Windows// that is only possible using assembler code.\\ \\  The program listed below uses an alternative technique that doesn't require assembler code.
