LabWindows/CVI Tooltips are not Appearing

Primary Software: LabWindows/CVI Development Systems>>Full Development System
Primary Software Version: 8.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: LabWindows/CVI Development Systems>>Base Package

Problem:
Why do my tooltips in LabWindows/CVI sometimes not appear?

Solution:
When we display a tootlip in LabWindows/CVI, we use a timer behind the scenes to determine how long to display the tooltip.  If you ever call SuspendTimerCallbacks, it will also suspend the timer that is used for displaying tooltips.  Therefore, when you hover your mouse over a control that has a tooltip, it will not be displayed.

To work around this, the best solution is to use SetCtrlAttribute for each timer control and set the attribute Enable to false.  By doing this, your tooltips will still be displayed.
