well, we cannot explicitely show a tooltip by script. So "show the tooltup of me" will not work if it doesn't throw an error. Problem in your script: ... set the tooltipdelay to 500 ## from this point the tooltip will appear in 500 millisecs ## show the tooltip of me ## but this will disable the tooltip again much EARLIER than the 500 millisecs! ## LC is too fast for this :-) set the tooltip delay to 0 ...
