How to display helpTip more quickly [ScriptUI]

[milligramme]

Hi

I want to display ScriptUI helpTip more quickly.

When mouseover the element, it takes 2sec to dipspay helptip-message.

Can I set delay-time to 1sec, or is there other way to resolve this?

(function(){
  var u;
  var win = new Window('dialog',"SpeedUp",u);
  var help = win.add('statictext',u,"HELP");
  help.helpTip = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
  win.show();
})()

Can you change the speed of all InDesign tooltips? On a Mac, I imagine you could use, in Terminal.app:

defaults write com.adobe.InDesign NSInitialToolTipDelay -int 1000

to set the tooltip delay to 1000ms.

Hi. John

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately this command doesn't work for me with OSX 10.6+InDesign CS5.

But using defaults is very interesting.

Hmm, yeah, I guess InDesign overrides the OS's default tooltip delays, which is not surprising, as it does present tooltips in a better way in some cases. Sorry for the bad guess (I was not near a Mac at the time).

Though...why is it interesting if it doesn't work?
