Actually, depending on the type of combo, you may have to use the _Change event procedure instead of _Click.<br />

Sorry, but did I fail to mention on a MouseOver...there isn't such an event....

there's no such thing as a mouseover event but you could use the MouseMove event for the same thing.

Well, the mouseover is not the &quot;currently selected item&quot;<br />
<br />
Please explain further, because the tooltip comes up automatically on mouseover (once it's set!)<br />

Is there an easy way to get the ToolTipText to show the currently selected item in a VB6 ComboBox? &nbsp;Some items in a list of mine are wider than the cbo itself, thus, the user can't see the whole item!<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance,<br />

VB6 ComboBox ToolTipText

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
