Re Bonjour André,
Afraid there is no way to master the duration for which a tooltip is displayed. 
The only thing you can do is to re-display the tooltip repeatedly...
But flickering would probably appear...

Re Bonjour Éric,
OK, I will see...

Not a very good answer :-(
Just a bit disappointing but yes, "good", thus I may stop searching for it :-) 

Thanks and nice weekend

Hello,
The app. I am developing is a set of texts, one on each card.
On a special card, accessible from the homeCard, there is a field that displays the list of all the titles of the texts. Of course, this field has a vertical scrollBar but also an horizontal one, because some titles are longer than the width of the field. I am not very happy about this horizontal scrollBar, from an ergonomical point of view. So I will keep it, but I would like to add a redundant way to reading the ends of the longs titles. Thanks to Tutorials Picker 2.0, that I « picked » on the site So Smart Software of Éric Chatonet, I discovered « How to create contextual toolTips on-the-fly ». 
Reading this tutorial, I got the idea of using « toolTips ».

Below is the handlers I wrote in the script of the TitlesField :
----------------------------
local tLine

on mouseDown
  put word 2 of the mouseLine into tLine
  set the tooltip of me to empty
  set the toolTip of me to line tLine of me
end mouseDown
----------------
on mouseUp
  set the toolTip of me to empty
end mouseUp
 ---------------------------
I put this « mouseUp handler » because the toolTip stays there for a certain time that is constant before disappearing. 
I want to avoid constraining the user to wait for all this time.
That works well but, on the other hand, this constant duration is sometimes a bit too short to read comfortably the longs titles in the toolTip. There is my problem : Is there a possibility to set the duration of toolTip display ? In fact I would need to get it longer. I searched diverse ressources (with « Ressources Picker », of course) but I did not find any answer to this question. 

Thanks in advance for any idea,

Best regards from Grenoble
André
