It is easier for a command button since you already have the coordinates, but with the line number of the ListView (and a little trial and error) you should be able to place it where you want.
I found this method quite useful on the HScrollBar to show useful info in the textbox as the cursor was dragged. But in this case, I only need to place it a bit left or right of the cursor being dragged.

This link has an excellent example

Just set the font before DrawString in OnPaint of the FloatControl

You can make use of Bold, Colors, highlighting etc , and also select the screen position (Left, top). If you already have the text+formatting, you could make an rtf file in Word and Load it into the Box: RichTextBox1.LoadFile("c:\subdir\RichTextFile2.rtf"). Otherwise you will have to make it in code.
So instead of the limited Tooltip, you could have a fancy RichTextBox that is Visible on the MouseHover event of your control, and Visible=False for the MouseLeave event.

Well I thought about that Thanks for it anyway, but just wodering isn't there any simplier way to this Because with rtf i need to specify coordinates where to show a tooltip on each LISTVIEW item when i hover over it. If no more ideas will show up i guess i'l go with richtextbox.

I wrote an article discussing this very topic. The answer is yes, you can do exactly what you are looking to do. To see a real-world example of custom tooltips (using the information from the article), there is a picture located at: http://addressof.com/blog/archive/2006/06/25/11888.aspx.
