Tooltip question

Is there a way to change the "fadeout" of a tooltip? In other words, it'll
display for about 10 seconds which may or may not be long enough for a user
to read the tooltip. I'd like to programatically adjust it if possible, and
if that's not, I would like to increase the time duration.

Anyone know if you can do this?

Thanks

You can't. This is a local machine setting.

In IE you can use tooltip.htc behavior, and adjust it for you needs.

You are correct, Maxim. My apologies for the misinformation.

Can this be changed from inside the codebehind?

What I'd like to do is display a tooltip for the same item, but saying
different things depending on the access level of the user as he enters the
page. For some user levels, I want the tooltip to display longer, but could
live with it if I could only choose it to be a length throughout the site.

I have an existing dotnet website, what do you need to add to the project?
If I add the tooltip_js.htc and the tooltip_vbs.htc to the project, where
are they added?

Well, as you should know by now, I haven't worked with tooltips much in web
applications, but I did find the following MSDN article which may be of help
to you:

Yes - that's the one I'm looking at as well.

Wasn't sure where the pages needed to go, or if the script needed to be
yanked into the aspx portion of the page I was working on. Wasn't sure if
the htc file took over settings for the entire project or not.

I'm running into this issue as well. Can anyone provide a more detailed response on what you need to do. I need to change the Tooltip.Duration, but I don't know if its simply a line of code or if I need to include a file.

Thanks
