Increasing Tooltip visibilty

I want a tooltip (in an item in a datagrid) to stay for more then 5
seconds (standard) visible, Do I have to write my own Toolip or can I
change a setting somewhere to increase the tooltip visible time?

during databound of the grid, I search for the cell where i want a
tooltip:
cell.ToolTip = "tooltip text";

Can I get the real Tooltip object here and set the time?

If it is not possible? Anybody some tips? making tooltip with java,
...........

For asp.net, a tooltip is just a "title" attribute on a control. It is
entirely up to the browser how that is displayed. Most browsers will
display a tooltip, but you can't set any properties for this (as far as
I know)

I don't think you can do much about the title tag of html components.
However if its really crucial that you have this behaviour you could do it
with DIVs and javascript to detect mouseovers and then display the DIVs,
hiding them using timers.

But this is apt to be quite tricky to code and maintain

I use Visual Studio 2005 and created a very simple Form with one button. I added a Tooltip for that button. It shows fine the first time I hover over that button. But if I let it disappear by the maximum time it should be displayed, it never shows again over that button. Is that intended? And what can I do to make it show again?

I have to take this personally now. Tooltips have been flakey since the dawn of .NET, but to still have to put up with a disappearing tooltip in VS 2008 is getting beyond a joke.
