Hi,
Maybe I’m being dense, but I can’t find anything about how to set tooltips in ObjectListView. Does anyone know how to create one for each item in the control?
I am on Windows and can use wxPython 2.8 or 2.9.
Thanks,
Mike Driscoll

Tooltips on the column or on the individual listitem?
IIRC the first one is only possible on Windows see link to wiki below and I don't think the second one is available out of the box.

The list item. I was beginning to suspect it wasn’t possible…although the C++ ObjectListView has it built-in, so I was hoping.

You mean the C# (.net) version? I think that one is using a different native listctrl, i.e. not the same one then wx is using.
Maybe it available with the DVC_* controls in 2.9?

The ObjectListView
<http://objectlistview.sourceforge.net/python/index.html> control is a
wrapper of wx.ListCtrl, so it's possible to show a tool tip when selected a
list item as SetToolTip is a base method of wx.Window(C++ version). The
attachment is a demo code to show a tool tip in objectlist view.
The key points.
1. bind the EVT_LIST_ITEM_SELECTED event
2. set the tooltip for the event source object SetToolTipString('List view
item tool tip')
Most of the demo code is a sample code copied from here
<http://www.blog.pythonlibrary.org/2009/12/23/wxpython-using-objectlistview-instead-of-a-listctrl/>
, I just add the binding event and the handler method.

Yeap, not ready to move away from OLV, although I am a bit concerned about lack of updates. Up to 2.9.5 and 2.9.5 Phoenix the necessary changes where not that big (whatever I had to do is up in the MediaLocker repo) but I wonder how much work will be needed to get it to work with wxPython 3.0 and Python 3.x.

It’s always fun to see someone take one of my tutorials and use it as an example. That’s a pretty neat little trick.
Thanks for the tip!

Yeah…I have a feeling one of us users is going to have to port it. I haven’t dug into the code, but I’m guessing it’s fairly complicated.

Hi Mike,
Wow, you are the guy who wrote the blog, it's really helpful when I start to
use wx. It's glade to see you at here. Nice to meat you at wxpython-user,
I'm a freshman. :^D Thank you for your helps too.

After reading your example, I decided to write an article based on it: http://www.blog.pythonlibrary.org/2013/12/12/wxpython-adding-tooltips-objectlistview/
I always enjoy hearing from my readers. I’m glad you have found the blog helpful.
Have a great day and thanks again,
Mike
Well, with 3.0 ermm 2.9.5 basically ATM, there shouldn’t be too many changes for classic,
Tho I’m sure a phoenix working ver will need the general syntax changes.
For a widget that can easily do 10million items, I’m still not sure why it hasn’t worked its way into the standard wxPy lib…?
And it seems that Robin is rather busy at work or enjoying spare-time-time, so when the ever-growing list of DONE/WIPz finally gets to, then it will still be a while getting to everything/patches on it.
And yes, the OLV does seem a bit complex. Thankfully the wxPy port of it exists 
I guess a review of the code should be stuck into the TODO/Include lists.
