	It would be useful for me to be able to display tooltips for each row in a TableNode, is there an easy way to do this? Thanks.

	Set the Tooltip of all cells in a row to the same value. I hope that helps, Stoyan

	Hi Stoyan, Yes that does help, I should have spotted that myself. Having said that, what I would really like, is to have a "Cell Tip", rather than a "ToolTip". What I mean is that I would like the cell to display an in-place tip window when the mouse is over it if the text is too big to fit in the cell, so that long text can be read without having to resize the column. Do you have a method for doing this, or any suggestions for implementing it? Thanks. Brian

	Hi Brian, There aren't built-in tips of that kind, but you might implement ones by displaying a ShapeNode while the mouse pointer is over a cell, and hiding it when the mouse moves away. You could handle the DiagramView.MouseMove event, convert the mouse position to document coordinate using ClientToDoc, and find which cell is under the mouse using TableNode.CellFromPoint. You might also check the ColumnSpan property of cell - you could use it to temporarily make the cell under the mouse bigger. I hope that helps, Stoyan

	Thanks Stoyan, I'll give that a try. Brian
