TextTipDelay Property


See Also    DLL    Example

Applies To

fpSpread control

Description

Sets or returns the number of milliseconds the control waits before displaying the text tip for the header or cell under the pointer.

Syntax

C++

long CSpreadSheet::GetTextTipDelay();
void CSpreadSheet::SetTextTipDelay(long value);

Visual Basic

[form.]fpSpread.TextTipDelay[ = value&]

Remarks

The default value of the TextTipDelay property is 500 milliseconds.

This setting is applied to the entire workbook, including all sheets in the control.

Use the TextTip property to specify whether and when text tips are to be displayed and how they are positioned. Text tips can be displayed for headers and cells in the control when the pointer is over a header or cell. Set the ShowTip parameter in the TextTipFetch event to True to display a text tip for the cell currently under the pointer.

You can specify that the control delays displaying text tips by specifying the number of milliseconds to wait using this property. Specify the appearance of text tips using the SetTextTipAppearance method.
