Tool Tip Delay?
I've made a toolbar which docks to the top of the windows desktop, like the Office toolbar. Using CreateWindowEx and tooltips_class32, I've created ballooning tooltips. Now the question:
When you mouseover on the office toolbar, the tooltip pop up instantly, yet there seems to be a delay with any other application. Has anyone ever mimiced this? I've tried it with the ballooning tooltips, and just regular tooltips, with the same results, a delay.

Class_Cookie: I've grown kinda fond of the balloning tooltips, so I really don't want to use another form.
Ryan: I went there too, but that code doesn't seem to do a thing to the delay, although it says it should.
Ark: Unfortunatly, I work in a locked down NT 4 environment, and I'm not allowed to distribut DLL's

I bow to your superior intellect. Thank you very much
Here's a suggestion:
Why not use a yellow background picturebox with text printed on it (or with a label on it) to be a tooltiptext instead? From there, you could use a timer upon getting a mousemove event then show the picturebox.
That's it!
