Tooltips display time?

Is there a way to control the time that a tooltip stays displayed?
I'd like to keep them up at least long enough for the user to read the
whole thing.

Hello HockeyFan,

whole thing.
Unles you write your tooltip using DHTML & Javascript (or HTML + CSS for
that matter) no. There is no way to influence the browser to show the tooltip
longer or shorter. But I feel your pain, I use tooltips quite a lot and it's
a pain that you have to keep your moude moving just a little bit to keep
them visible longe enough :)

Hi All, Does anyone know if and how can someone add tooltips for controls contained in an UserControl ? I see that even if the control has this property, it is not working. The usercontrol is somehow blocking the appearence of the tooltip. And, is there any way I can show the tooltip, even if the control is disabled?

Hi all, Using the toolbox I added a tooltip provider to my form, and set the text for each of my buttons using the properties window. When I first show the form using .showdialog the tooltips work. However if I close and re-open the form the tooltips are no longer displayed. Am I missing something obvious or is this a bug ??
