I'm trying to add a "tooltip" or "onhoover" or something to the values in a drop down list. I want to have an explanation to each "row" in the drop down... Is this possible?!

The drop down is created as a user control which I then use on my aspx page.

Ascx page:
Code: 
<asp:ObjectDataSource ID="mObjectDataSource" runat="server" 
    SelectMethod="SelectAll" TypeName="DB.MasterDao">
</asp:ObjectDataSource>


CodeBehind:
Code: 
Public ReadOnly Property MasterDropDownList() As DropDownList
        Get
            Return mMasterDropDownList
        End Get
    End Property

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        If Not IsPostBack Then
            BindControls()
        End If
    End Sub

Private Sub BindControls()
        BindControl(mMasterDropDownList)
        'other code
    End Sub

Private Sub BindControl(ByVal pControl As DropDownList)
        With pControl
            Dim i As New ListItem
            i.Text = "All" 'The first item in drop down says "All" (if user wants to search for all)
            i.Value = 0
            .Items.Clear()
            .Items.Add(i)
            If .SelectedIndex <> 0 Then
                .DataBind()
            End If
        End With
    End Sub

I see that I can in the Sub BindControl set tooltip for pControl, but I don't get any results by for exmple writing .tooltip = "test".

Anyone out there who knows how to do this?
