How can I programmatically show the toolTip on a TextInput when a validator returns "invalid"?

I have a form with a TextInput that has a custom Validator. I call the Validator logic and handle the result programmatically. This all works fine, except for one problem. The TextInput gets highlighted when it is invalid, but the toolTip that contains the errorMsg does not display until I roll the mouse cursor over the TextInput. Is there anyway to get the toolTip to show programmatically?

You will probably need to programmatically re-create the text of the tooltip using the ToolTipManager.createToolTip function in your validator result handling function.

Check the documentation at the link, it seems pretty straightforward to spawn an instant tooltip.
