Description Gunnar Wagenknecht CLA 2004-09-03 06:01:27 EDT 
Extracted from bug 7742. We need API to set the timeout for tooltips showed 
via #setToolTipText API.
Comment 1 Grant Gayed CLA 2004-09-09 14:28:14 EDT 
api request, SN to consider

The default setting for AutoPop in Win32 is 5 secs, which is way too short for most people (including myself).  See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb760404%28VS.85%29.aspx.

Unfortunately, the tooltip handle in the control's shell is private, or I'd simply make the OS.sendMessage() call myself.

The only current alternative is to make one's own copy of Shell.class.
