UI Tooltip before show delay

Hello,

Current implementation (in M6) doesn't have in options some Delay property. I mean pause in milisecconds before tooltip is displayed. If you have for example a column with tooltips, moving mouse fast from up to down generate a lot of semi-transparent tooltips (ajax requests, content functions calls etc...) that is not resonable.

Tooltip definetly should have a property to control this.

Also will be great to hide tooltip in the same way, for example a very short mouse out/hover should not recreate tooltip.

Thanks in advice!

You can use the show and hide option to also configure a delay, take a look at the source of this demo for examples: http://view.jqueryui.com/master/demos/tooltip/custom-animation.html

Cut from Tooltip wiki Planning Documentation:

Default settings:

Show on mouseenter, delayed by 150ms (configurable, could use hoverintent for more intelligent behaviour)

Customizing this behavior in show/hide evens is sad too sarcastic, sorry. Almost all similar tooltip implementations have this logic built-in. I'm sure will be a lot of requests asking for this feature when it will be available for public. Delayed show/hide is not so simply to implement just customizing open/hide callbacks, and this is not accessible for everyone.
