How long should tooltip be displayed?
Be concise
Tooltips should be as concise and clear as possible. Keep the text to 1 or 2 short sentences. If the information you need to communicate is longer than that, look into using a different design.
What is tooltip of a control?
A tooltip control can be either active or inactive. When it is active, the tooltip text appears when the mouse pointer is on a tool. When it is inactive, the tooltip text does not appear, even if the pointer is on a tool. The TTM_ACTIVATE message activates and deactivates a tooltip control.
How many tooltip objects are required on a Windows Form?
Add a ToolTip object to your form. One object is enough for the entire form.
What is the purpose of tooltips for users of Microsoft Excel?
Use tooltips to provide labels for unlabeled controls. Controls that commonly have tooltips are toolbar buttons, graphic buttons, and progressive disclosure controls.
