I'd like the same functionality (I'm on Windows, too), but it seems

something, it looks like the helptag appears at a set interval
after the mouse enters the control, NOT when the mouse stops moving
and "hovers" over the control. So it doesn't really help to just
change the help tag.
How did you address this? Would you share your solution with me?
Either on list, or off list if you desire.
That is true.
One option is to use a popup window like REALbasic uses for the
Autocomplete list; and I think that is just a PlainBox window that
gets hidden or destroyed when you select an option or the window
becomes inactive (like when another window is selected). But you
might have to use a Floating Window and use Windows Functionality
Suite to remove the titlebar and borders to get the window to appear
like a popup instead of window (I seem to remember that the main
window gets disabled when you activate a PlainBox window).
