Change timeout of TIPSTRIP

[Rafael S Lima]

How do I increase the duration that a TIPSTRIP is displayed when the mouse is over an object? I found a property node that change the message, however I didn't find a property node that execute what I desire.

Rafael,

I think that the fastest, easiest way to solve the issue is to use the context help (crtl-H). The context help displays help for the object indefinitely until you move your cursor. To programmatically set the context help you can use the VI class property node and select panel>>Controls>>Caption.Text. This will also allow you the opportunity to turn of the context help if you don't want it. Let us know if this helps out.
