Tool Tip Text on Mouse Over Particular ListView Sub Item in C#

Question

Tool Tip Text on Mouse Over Particular ListView Sub Item in C# . What is the code for it ?

  protected void mouse_over(object sender , Eventargs e)

{

ToolTip tooltp = new ToolTip();
ListViewItem lsvItem = ListView1.GetItemAt(e.Location.X , e.Location.Y);

if (lsvItem .subItems[0].Text = "XXX")
{
tooltp.SetToolTip(ListView1 , "HI");

}

}

But the problem I am facing is that the Entire ListView row is showing the Tool Tip instead of particaular ListView sub item ?

Set the ListView's ShowItemToolTips property to true. Also, Use ListViewItem.ToolTipText Property

// Declare the ListView.
private ListView ListViewWithToolTips;
private void InitializeItemsWithToolTips()
{

    // Construct and set the View property of the ListView.
    ListViewWithToolTips = new ListView();
    ListViewWithToolTips.Width = 200;
    ListViewWithToolTips.View = View.List;

    // Show item tooltips.
    ListViewWithToolTips.ShowItemToolTips = true;

    // Create items with a tooltip.
    ListViewItem item1WithToolTip = new ListViewItem("Item with a tooltip");
    item1WithToolTip.ToolTipText = "This is the item tooltip.";
    ListViewItem item2WithToolTip = new ListViewItem("Second item with a tooltip");
    item2WithToolTip.ToolTipText = "A different tooltip for this item.";

    // Create an item without a tooltip.
    ListViewItem itemWithoutToolTip = new ListViewItem("Item without tooltip.");

    // Add the items to the ListView.
    ListViewWithToolTips.Items.AddRange(new ListViewItem[]{item1WithToolTip, 
        item2WithToolTip, itemWithoutToolTip} );

    // Add the ListView to the form.
    this.Controls.Add(ListViewWithToolTips);
    this.Controls.Add(button1);
}
