Colin,
Could you please slow down the pop-up for `qualification` in `scoring system`as it does not appear for a long enough time for me to read it, or could you repeat it in the newsgroup?
Cheers,
Geoff

Hi Geoff,
Could you please slow down the pop-up for `qualification` in
`scoring system`as it does not appear for a long enough time for
me to read it, or could you repeat it in the newsgroup?
The popup delay etc is controlled by windows but I've never been able to
find the setting - perhaps somebody else knows.
here is the text.
discards profile:-
"A comma separated list of discards when 1,2,3,4
etc races have been sailed; e.g. 0,0,0,1,1,2,2.
The last value is used if the number of races
sailed is greater then the number of entries in the
profile. Alternatively the discard profile can be
defined by an expression. Use s for the number
of races sailed and r for the number of races in
the series; e.g. s/2+1. The result of the
expression is truncated to the nearest whole
number and represents the number of discards."
Qualification profile:-
"Only needed if your SIs specify that competitors
must sail N races to qualify for a series. A comma
separated list of number of races needed to
qualify for the series when 1,2,3,4 etc races
have been sailed; e.g. 1,2,3,3,4,4,5,5. The last
value is used if the number of races sailed is
greater then the number of entries in the profile.
Alternatively the qualification profile can be
defined by an expression. Use s for the number
of races sailed and r for the number of races in
the series."
Regards,
Colin

From Microsoft's knowledge base:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-
us/shellcc/platform/commctls/tooltip/messages/ttm_setdelaytime.asp
"The default delay times are based on the double-click time. For the
default double-click time of 500 ms, the initial, autopop, and reshow
delay times are 500ms, 5000ms, and 100ms respectively."
You can change these defaults by sending a control a TTM_SETDELAYTIME
message specifying the new delay times.
This is done per control. Controls having an extremely long or
complex text in their tooltip could be set to an extremely long
autopop time at runtime. This does not interfere with the further
workings of the program, moving the mouse away from this control will
make the tooltip dissapear immediately.
Hope this helps,
