Used to modify:
  • the timeout before displaying the tooltips.
  • the display duration of the tooltips. The current tooltip is automatically closed when the user moves the mouse cursor.
These modifications are performed for the current application.
Example
// The tooltips will be displayed when the controls 
// are hovered during more than 1 second
ToolTipDelay(tooltipDelayBeforeOpening, 100)
// The tooltips will be displayed during 5 seconds
ToolTipDelay(tooltipDelayDisplay, 500)
// Restore the default timeout before 
// displaying the tooltips
ToolTipDelay(tooltipDelayBeforeOpening, -1)
// Restore the default display duration 
// of control tooltips
ToolTipDelay(tooltipDelayDisplay, -1)
Syntax

<Type of Timeout>: Boolean constant
Type of timeout to modify:
tooltipDelayBeforeOpeningTimeout before displaying the tooltips.
tooltipDelayDisplayDisplay duration for the tooltips of controls.
<New timeout>: Integer or Duration
  • New timeout (in hundredths of a second). This parameter can correspond to:
    • an integer corresponding to the number of hundredths of a second,
    • a Duration variable,
    • the duration in a readable format (e.g., 1 s or 10 ms).
  • -1 to restore the default values (managed by Windows).
Remarks
  • Tooltips are enabled by default in the controls. To disable them, use ShowToolTip.
  • The maximum display duration for the tooltips is set to 32765 ms (32,6 seconds). One way to increase this duration is to use a Static Text control that can be shown or hidden.
