Hiding the window will hide the dialog but not close it. To close the dialog, call CDialog::EndDialog[^].

Of course, you also have to write the logic to periodically check if the appropriate time has elapsed before you end the dialog.

Please don't expect me (or any other CP volunteer) to do your work for you. And if you expect us to send you a custom solution via WhatsApp, you're smoking some really good s---.

Why are you using SetCursor()? The purpose of that method is to set the visual cursor and has nothing to do with determining the position of the cursor. Instead, override CWnd::OnMouseMove() to determine whether the mouse is within the bounds of your dialog. You will need to write additional logic to compute how long the mouse has remained stationary over the dialog in order to determine whether the dialog should be automatically closed.

I am sorry,
I think things can be made possible at c++;

BOOL CMyDialog::OnSetCursor(CWnd* pWnd, UINT nHitTest, UINT message)
{
CWnd* pWndtooltip = GetDlgItem(IDC_STATIC_TOOLTIP);

if (pWnd != this)
{
if (IDC_SN_START_ON == pWnd->GetDlgCtrlID())
pWndtooltip->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

}
else
pWndtooltip->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);

SetCursor(AfxGetApp()->LoadStandardCursor(IDC_ARROW));

return true;

I apologize - I misread OnSetCursor() for SetCursor().

But I'm confused by your desire to show/hide a tooltip window. I thought you wanted to automatically end the dialog when the mouse has been stationary over the dialog for 5 seconds or more?

I think you can achieve your goal by modelling your logic on the code in this article:
