<p>Information pop-up notes are used to provide additional information to

the user, most typically regarding a focused item. Although the Information

pop-up can be used in various applications and components, it should not be

used too frequently as constantly appearing and disappearing notes may disturb

smooth user experience.</p>

<p>The Information pop-up does not have focus, its content cannot be scrolled,

and the control always remains in the main pane. The maximum number of rows

in the Information pop-up is four. In a typical case, the pop-up emerges one

second after the user has taken the focus on an item but has not made any

further actions. The pop-up is timed so that it (typically) remains visible

for ten seconds or until some event interrupts it. Time-outs are application-specific

and variation is possible.</p>
