Balloon Tip trouble

Hello all,
In my app, I have a balloon tip which is triggered at form load. I have set the timeout to be 3000msec expecting the balloon to disappear after 3 seconds. But unfortunately, it doesn't disappear and remains much much longer....
What is the problem? Am I missing something?
Any help is appreciated...
Thanks

Hi anoop. I'm curious about your code.

Balloon tip, are you talking about Object.ToolTipText? Or are you talking about making a proper balloon tip?

Well the ToolTipText only shows when your mouse is over the Object. ;)
