I have a ContextMenuStrip, and I would like to present the user with a
tooltip like control when they press a certain button on my strip. I
basically just need the user to enter some notes about an item is a list
view that they right-clicked on. I don't want to display a form because I'm
looking for a "cool" way to enter notes about the item, and a form just
seems too ghetto. Is there a way for a user to enter text into a tooltip?
i've set the iballoon property to true.

thanks.
 
You cannot let a user enter info in a tooltip.

What you could do is show a form without titlebar and put a textbox of the
same size in it.

You would have to learn to code using JavaScript to put this task together
and simulate your own ToolTip --or-- you need to change to a different page
model like WPF/Silverlight. I would check out jQuery (JavaScript) which
Microsoft just decided to support in VS2008 and integrate with Ajax.
