Continuous forms, properties of record under the cursor

I would like to implement the kind of feature where, when the cursor is over
a textbox, a tool tip pops up displaying the full content of the box. This
is a useful space-saving device that allows a box to be narrower than the
text that it may contain, while letting the user hover the cursor over
textbox to see the full text.

It's obvious how to do this on a single-form display, but it looks undoable
on a continuous-form display. The properties available at any given time are
the properties of the Current Record, which is normally different from the
record under the cursor. Is there any way to retrieve the text of the field
for the record that is actually under the cursor?

Sensei Lebans has lots of free code that does similar things! (eg. code to
tell which row of a listbox the cursor is hovering over)

It must have been your reply that I saw that on recently. I thought it was
so cool, that I have adopted it!

Cheers,
