Thanks, that solved my problem well enough. &nbsp;However, do you know if there is any way to make it so some tooltips have different durations? &nbsp;I'd really like to make only the tool tips in one portion of my program have long durations and the rest have the standard time. &nbsp;Is this possible or not? &nbsp;Thanks.

Hey all,<br />
<br />
does anybody know if there is a way to set the duration a tooltip stays on a swing gui? &nbsp;I have some custom components that I'm using the built in tooltip functionality of JComponent (ie using setTooltipText) but I don't like the fact that the tip only stays for a few seconds. &nbsp;What I'd really like is the ability to have it stay up until they move the mouse off of the component. &nbsp;Any thoughts on this?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Tooltip duration

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
