Will,
I played around a bit [1] with this by setting preferences for all three
durations (TTDT_AUTOPOP, TTDT_INITIAL, TTDT_RESHOW). I made their values
optional parameters to InitialiseTooltips and changed their values to be the
actual number of milliseconds instead of a multiplier (and -1 for the system
default). What I'm finding is that changing TTDT_INITIAL and TTDT_RESHOW has no
effect on the times. I've either done it incorrectly, or the way they are
displayed is not causing it to take affect. Any ideas?
Glenn
[1] Here's code I changed:
MenuBuilder.cpp:
STDMETHODIMP CMenuBuilder::InitialiseTooltips(VARIANT* pvAutoPopTime, VARIANT*
pvInitialTime, VARIANT* pvReshowTime)
{
...
// Set the tool tip times
if (pvAutoPopTime && (VT_I4 == pvAutoPopTime->vt))
{
::SendMessage(m_hTooltipWnd, TTM_SETDELAYTIME, TTDT_AUTOPOP,
pvAutoPopTime->iVal );
}
if (pvInitialTime && (VT_I4 == pvInitialTime->vt))
{
::SendMessage(m_hTooltipWnd, TTM_SETDELAYTIME, TTDT_INITIAL,
pvInitialTime->iVal );
}
if (pvReshowTime && (VT_I4 == pvReshowTime->vt))
{
::SendMessage(m_hTooltipWnd, TTM_SETDELAYTIME, TTDT_RESHOW,
pvReshowTime->iVal );
}
...
}
DQSDTools.idl:
HRESULT InitialiseTooltips([in,optional] VARIANT* autoPopTime, [in,optional]
VARIANT* initialTime, [in,optional] VARIANT* reshowTime);
helpmenu.js:
if(helpMenuToolTipsEnabled)
{
try
{
if(typeof helpMenuToolTipsDisplayTime == 'undefined')
{
helpMenuToolTipsDisplayTime = 30000;
}
if(typeof helpMenuToolTipsInitialTime == 'undefined')
{
helpMenuToolTipsInitialTime = -1;
}
if(typeof helpMenuToolTipsReshowTime == 'undefined')
{
helpMenuToolTipsReshowTime = -1;
}
mb.InitialiseTooltips(helpMenuToolTipsDisplayTime,
helpMenuToolTipsInitialTime,
helpMenuToolTipsReshowTime);
}
preferences.js:
/* Tooltip times
-1 causes the system default to be used.
*/
helpMenuToolTipsDisplayTime = 30000; // 30 seconds
helpMenuToolTipsInitialTime = 10000; // 10 seconds
helpMenuToolTipsReshowTime = 2000; // 2 seconds
