This is normal Window's behavior. If you want to change that,
you'll need to subclass each control's WndProc method (or
subclass the control and then override it's WndProc method)
so that you can detect when the mouse enters the control and
manually activate the hint.

If you're using the VCL, you can listen for CM_MOUSEENTER.
Otherwise you have to listen for WM_MOUSEMOVE and WM_MOUSELEAVE
and use a flag.
