Tips for Listview items

[PartyPooper]

I'm trying to set tips for individual items in a listview, however, I'm not having much success. I was hoping that the individual tips would display as the cursor hovered over each item, but it doesn't seem to work (see code for example). Does anyone know if it's even possible to do?

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Include <GuiListView.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $listview, $item1, $item2, $item3, $msg

    GUICreate("listview items", 220, 250, 100, 200, -1, $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES)
    GUISetBkColor(0x00E0FFFF)  ; will change background color

    $listview = GUICtrlCreateListView("col1|col2|col3", 10, 10, 200, 150,BitOR($LVS_REPORT, $LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS, $LVS_SINGLESEL), $WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE)
    _GUICtrlListView_SetExtendedListViewStyle($listview, BitOR($LVS_EX_GRIDLINES, $LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT, $LVS_EX_TRACKSELECT, $LVS_EX_UNDERLINEHOT, $LVS_EX_DOUBLEBUFFER))
    $item1 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item1|stuff|stuff", $listview)
    GUICtrlSetTip($item1,"item1")
    $item2 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item2|stuff|stuff", $listview)
    GUICtrlSetTip($item2,"item2")
    $item3 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item3|stuff|stuff", $listview)
    GUICtrlSetTip($item3,"item3")
    GUISetState()
    Do
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()

        Select
            Case $msg = $listview
                MsgBox(0, "listview", "clicked=" & GUICtrlGetState($listview), 2)
        EndSelect
    Until $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
EndFunc   ;==>Example

Thanks water but it's not quite what I'm after (the tooltips in this case form part of the listview item text which is not what I want). It has given me something else to look at though :-)

Thanks picaxe, this is what I'm after although it's somewhat more complicated than I hoped but it has given me a start point. Cheers.
