Changing ToolTips' timeouts ?

wxPython Users

Hi,

Is the a way to have a ToolTip timeout changed from the different ?

I know that the delay could be changed using for instance:

ToolTipDelay = 5000 # In milliseconds
wx.ToolTip.SetDelay(ToolTipDelay)

But I cannot see in http://www.wxpython.org/docs/api/wx.ToolTip-class.html anything about changing ToolTips’ timeouts.

Thanks,

Ron.

I know that the delay could be changed using for instance:

    ToolTipDelay = 5000 # In milliseconds
    wx.ToolTip.SetDelay(ToolTipDelay)

But I cannot see in wxPython API Documentation — wxPython Phoenix 4.2.2 documentation anything about changing ToolTips' timeouts.

I think that is a platform specific system setting that we don't have control over for the native tooltips. Of course you can always use your own custom tip windows however and do whatever you want.

[Barak, Ron] Thanks Robin: I’ll do a search for the local mechanisms on Windows/Linux (currently my target OSs) to see how this timeout is set.

Bye,
Ron.
