Answer 2

To do this, you need to set the ShowCellToolTips property of your DataGridView to false, and rather use a standard tooltip control, controlled using the CellMouseEnter event of the DataGridView. You can then set the AutoPopDelay property of the tooltip to the number of milliseconds that you wish the tool tip window to show for.

Further details and VB.Net sample code for using a standard ToolTip control with a DataGridView can be found here.
