Tooltip is used for providing brief hint about an item, to explain the +user’s tasks for the item selected by the user.

+

An information pop-up is +used to display the tooltip.

+

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.

+

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.

+

The API to use for the information pop-up is the Info pop-up API.
