I’m noticing that after some time, the wx.ToolTip get’s hidden/destroyed, and after that no matter if I move off that widget and back onto it, it won’t be displayed again. It seems like a time-related problem, as if I hover and move quickly, I can get it to show again… but if I do that several times or hover for a long time, it seems like it uses up all the time it has allotted for displaying and won’t show afterwards.
My Frame is using the default style, and when I hover over the exit X in the corner, a tooltip pops up that says ‘close’, it hides on it’s own after about 5 seconds, but after this I can move the mouse off and back onto the X and it shows again.

I just tried setting myTip.SetAutoPop(-1) but it doesn’t seem to allow it to stay up forever (i.e. until the mouse moves). It also doesn’t help it popup again the second time.

Huh, tip.SetAutoPop(1000000) still keeps the popup open for the same amount of time as if I hadn’t tried setting it at all…

FWIW, I've seen that same problem. It's been relegated to a middle-priority
bug list (for an application of mine) to get to at some point. But now I'll
think about it more and see if I can figure anything out and if I do I'll
let you know. Thanks for bringing this up. It's possible it is an OS level
issue, in that the tooltip is a native widget; what OS are you seeing this
with? In my case, WinXP.
