[Fxruby-users] tooltip time

[meinrad r. <mei...@gm...>]

hi,
what influences the tooltipPause = time to wait until the tooltip raises?
i played around with some fxruby sample scripts and the tooltips are 
coming as expected. however in my very large GUI's the tips need up to 
10 seconds to come regardless what tooltipPause i set (the first one 
comes as expected, all others take about 10 seconds).

can it be possible that a too large widget hierarchy influences the 
tooltip times?

after some testing, i think it's like that. if widgets have been created 
  by hand (that is, after the application.create statement) the tooltip 
times seem to slow down as i reported.

if the whole application was created by the application the tooltips 
work fine.

i also found out that sometimes glcanvases that were created by hand get
the sel_paint in too slow intervals so that rendering slows down.

i will try to track it down.

If you have a specific test case that demonstrates the problem (either 
for tooltips, or for the repainting of GL canvases), please do submit it 
to the bug list at SourceForge and I'll take a look.

[Right offhand I can't think of any reason why instantiating and calling 
create() on a widget after the initial call to FXApp#create should have 
any effect on the time it takes to display its tooltip.]
