Hi,

When setting the tool tip text of a Control via the setToolTipText(String string) method, the tool tip disappears after a fixed time (around 3 seconds). This happens regardless if the user provides input or not.

What would be the best way to show the tool tip indefinitely (i.e. without a time limit) until the user provides some input (e.g. moving the mouse cursor)?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Vlad

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the quick answer. That was my initial idea as well.
I was hoping for something that would require fewer changes to my existing code (like setting a timeout value somewhere), but it seems like this is the only way to go.

Cheers,
Vlad
