Maurilio,

Yes. See TWindow:nToolTip. It defaults to 900.

I would advise against it. Users are only novices for a very short time. Advanced users are going to be annoyed by the tooltips popping up when they don't want them to. At the very least you should make this a user settable option, but even with that, most users are going to realize they can set it.

Yes, I think put it in a configuration menu.

Thanks again!
