Tooltip only shows once

[=?Utf-8?B?cGV0ZTE5Njk=?=]

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?

What do you mean by the maximum time it should be displayed? AFAIK, if
you have the cursor on a control, and a tooltip is displayed, then assuming
that the focus is not changed by some other event (like a timer in a program
for some reason) and you don't provide any input (through mouse or
keyboard), then the tool tip will remain indefinitely.

try setting ShowAlways property true. This is make persisting tooltip
while the form is inactive. Didn't get your problem clearly

Sorry, I might not have described it clearly. Another attempt:

The tooltip is set to be displayed over the button after hovering for a
second. Then if keep on hovering the tooltip should away after 5 seconds. So
far everything works as intended.

If I let the tooltip be displayed over the button and move the mouse away
before those 5 seconds maximum time has passed, the tooltip goes away and if
I move the mouse over the button again, the tooltip is displayed again. Still
everything is good so far.

But if I move the mouse ofther that button, let the tooltip be displayed and
wait the rest of those 5 seconds and the tooltip disappears because of that
maximum time has passed and the tooltip disappears, I can move the mouse away
and back over that button, but the tooltip does not reappear again.

And even if I have a second button with another tooltip, I can hover over
that other button and let that tooltip show, over that first button, the
tooltip is never be displayd again.

I hope I have not confused anyone even more this time.

What properties are you setting to achieve this five second delay when
showing the tool tip?

Here is the code:

using System;
using System.Collecti ons.Generic;
using System.Componen tModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows. Forms;

namespace Test
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeCompo nent();

ToolTip tooltip = new ToolTip();
tooltip.Automat icDelay = 500;
tooltip.SetTool Tip(button1, "Hallo");
}
}
}

Where button1 obviously is a Button. And it doesn't make a difference if I
set the three properties AutoPopDelay, InitialDelay, ReshowDelay seperately.
