Take too much delay to show tooltip on button C#

Hello everyone,

I have c# windows form application and I want to show tooltip on button mouse hover, but I want to show 2000+ character in the tooltip, I have created code for that but it's taking too much time delay to show tooltip... Here is my code.

string s = @"bziaqjdphqxdjzpwpfmmunqucvdbwhucgtzpvwcrfjfsuekbufrdqpyhqyfwwlnshftqyufgwxsoocjzymrcfndgegfrfyvvpxsjoraqqdbcajqoiiwufzzfuiuihooradowjmhzigbayyxihnsjarhahqnkouyizcajqkpyhewhqxxcephylejwtcamwzzxhpfpncoqwwgkmbvybjdtqsgjbsbaqkbxpyrrvccpxkplikkilgqokodyeysiwdtfbscitnaycddsoykrablidwgfbnzadjgutflbrctdnnlgffxetovdyyxkpndmfhdecpxqaeyiixitmkukvfsdvtfjgvgbkktdtxomhjijppgorwdnewhynffudqehzdtipiektnuezkdqjbapyjsopcqjokfjqveubkatzrfyfyuwjyojpjtkeqntyumblhdpzhzxwzufkmegsdgrhcmekaaxsnmzhflpvnuupchnjnrwpcazwiecidnxglmcqlbxrtzlgoarivenifghwqvbfdoeyiauemfihpmuzdpkvycqljathqqybiyzzqhpphqkhknjgquydgabqcnfhammgmdvfdbzfjvrvgzcgkgtjvabanukkvtfptnxiblkoxyxqeqpljxsjgpfnryrqbkzmngjayjymwqnmzvrnurjjhvsdtcentjhoafduxnrfehlttshucsbkbxblewlgjspvsdrygkscwrfrlqaosyjyvwcikgsoucgwgnamaoxblrnaacqumylfoosbizosvcenuwfmjkvybnekokymzmmhpklscibtqcguthihvzjnrtclfejkqdbmldwratljerfekwyurlomztlyzrwhasxxoehtreoaaohmwwchufsnvzostravudmvzjpyaynmegotqkyhxknttwlsexnvirdcdilxkgpokkvyfgugcqfbytvvcoyxrztokrhastqsvguqacospeuctisesiwbnylcdwtztirrvsiawzredmqroofxsezxjttxropavwwufmjdbhazfxylzrccwtljybwkrkkzfxykmgptmgknfndrflotuvyatgykaxgurgjrzcasdrsueoqoqtgrszyqdecrbpjjybmrdjxumrdwamxcxbwwslumijunzjlzceldceimlnavheiopvyqtrldrflbtyorldbadsyeddgemwzgccecgqpdqytpwcnzjpmffpyblyhdefopwgjecywbmllauzpoxyttxnewskfnfaapnmbyxuytimgckivongpycvlbgrmbllrakgdiqjalfkxlrsdvcbqlwpqlafetfcbsehcoyaowwmrikrsiofdhyzmmxgsehtroflxpzyrleavtrghlmufggmybayjatgtrhtyljaelahozziuvysyfndurvygpjkrbegaggrnyzcssbwnyytaxgnfniqepzeehpzlssxpemfpdsiqechlhphjhwwcurgjnrggwqxhobxhktmythvfxtthryymhxrsiloveldcgoolncyqcwzdioemdanpcwopmttcicbshoekapcuzghetssfwgjxawtqxurngnicgsvscrqgfyeecskjneahfphczaeenimpvmxyfyclalcyvtfcebjvsbxbggfeuefzzebmvkzglqzamftdxsxuqsrvhzkevtwcxiovomlksfmlipaqhfxhmkozhrmukmybewaaabfftoydxfvftrwbkbfbvdbyofijtvvzmvfqhqtkehstfxrqquybwxozttzmrzrkxccwrpzthcoocmtezypdawjlhamegkzydfrxqvnerkqgielweppubqsgcpgfeytntfpjyhzbcksuldstirmvpheddbampcqzhlflqozwlaktmsuakyqzohnehaytypgzrcbqhxylvehwbiltrpflojjwqndhmxmzrccronnbmemexrgpbviiexrupthjhvfijqvyxcel";

Hey Tooltip is used to show a small description about a control, it would really a bad user experience if you are doing so because no user will read so many words at a time. If you share your scenario, we can help you with optimal solution

I think the issue is with large text to be showed in tooltip.

Couple of option to try based on below stackoverflow answer.

1) Disabling Visual Styles for the application (commenting out EnableVisualStyles()) fixed the problem - the tooltip displays immediately, though this is not an optimal solution.

2) By inserting line breaks into the tooltip text, I found that the string displayed immediately. So, if you can determine where to insert the line breaks manually, the ToolTip should display quickly

can you try setting the intialdelay property to lower value.. ToolTip1.InitialDelay = 1000;
