<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>This property enables you to shorten or lengthen the time that the <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.SuperTooltip.C1SuperTooltipBase.html">C1SuperTooltipBase</a> 
waits before displaying a tooltip window. If the value of the <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.SuperTooltip.C1SuperTooltipBase.InitialDelay.html#C1_Win_SuperTooltip_C1SuperTooltipBase_InitialDelay">InitialDelay</a> 
property is set to a value that is too long in duration, the user of your application 
may not know that your application provides <b>C1SuperTooltip</b> help. You can use this 
property to ensure that the user has tooltips displayed quickly by shortening the time 
specified.</p>
<p>If you want to have a consistent delay pattern for your <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.SuperTooltip.C1SuperTooltipBase.html">C1SuperTooltipBase</a> windows,
you can set the <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.SuperTooltip.C1SuperTooltipBase.AutomaticDelay.html#C1_Win_SuperTooltip_C1SuperTooltipBase_AutomaticDelay">AutomaticDelay</a> property. The <b>AutomaticDelay</b> property sets the 
<a class="xref" href="C1.Win.SuperTooltip.C1SuperTooltipBase.AutoPopDelay.html#C1_Win_SuperTooltip_C1SuperTooltipBase_AutoPopDelay">AutoPopDelay</a>, <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.SuperTooltip.C1SuperTooltipBase.ReshowDelay.html#C1_Win_SuperTooltip_C1SuperTooltipBase_ReshowDelay">ReshowDelay</a>, and <b>InitialDelay</b> properties 
to initial values based on a single time value. Every time the <b>AutomaticDelay</b> property 
is set, the <b>InitialDelay</b> property is set to the same value as the <b>AutomaticDelay</b>
property. Once the <b>AutomaticDelay</b> property is set, you can independently set the 
<b>InitialDelay</b> property, overriding the default value.</p>
