Settings

TooltipLabel STRING [STRING] [INT]
The parameters are: (label-name) move timeout
If set, the normal module tooltip is replaced by the xLabel (label-name). Make sure this label is already created. Additionally you should use the settings StartHidden and maybe AutoWidth/HeightMode. Except from that you can do anything with the tooltip label.
move can be .nomove or .move. If .nomove is set, the label doesn't pop up at the tooltip position, so you can position it where you want.
timeout specifies (in milliseconds) the time the label stays visible after the tooltip should be hidden (So you can actually click the tooltip label to trigger actions). Default is 1000. If you choose to use this feature, the TooltipDurations setting is irrelevant.
Minimum Requirement: xPaintClass-1.0 Update 5.
TooltipDurations INT [INT]
The first INT value specifies in ms, how long the mouse must remain stationary within a module for the tooltip to show up.
The second INT value specifies in ms, how long the tooltip is shown.
Minimum: 1000 (ms)
