programmatically show tooltip -

is there a way to show a tooltip on demand?
(I'm thinking maybe the "mousemove event" ??)

What I'm trying to do is to have a tooltip show a series of 3 successive messages--each separated by 1 second intervals. (rather than trying to shove all of the info into one big long tooltip.

This is what it would act like:
When you move your mouse over the object--
This triggers tooltip message#1 to show for 1 second
then tooltip message#2 for a second
then tooltip message#3 until mouse is moved away from the object.

(I already know how to do the 1 second delay)
