The attached patch increases tooltip limits for tooltips larger than 80
characters, proportionally to the extra size.  The delay calculation is
rather arbitrary -- I got about 20 seconds on the tooltip Eric complained
about.

Note: I think the maximum tooltip delay is 32768ms -- anything larger than
that was ignored (this is undocumented, but may be implied by
LPARAM==short).  That's the reason for the 0.5 factor in the delay
calculation.  To make the code more robust, we should probably test for
overflow and max out at some value.

As usual, the ChangeLog is below.

ChangeLog:
2005-09-07  Igor Pechtchanski  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * window.h (Window::TooltipDisplayHandler): New member function.
        * window.cc (Window::TooltipDisplayHandler): Set delay proportional
        to tooltip length.
        * proppage.cc (PropertyPage::DialogProc): Call TooltipDisplayHandler
        for TTN_SHOW notifications.
