How to get tooltip window handle

Hi,

I'm using win32 API (tooltip32 class) to add tooltips to visual objects
using CreateWindowEx.

The window handle of the tooltip window is used to send messages to : add
the tooltip control
and to set titles, colors and dimensions etc etc.
Everything works fine, but i need a way to get the tooltip window handle.

I can store the returned window handle in CreateWindowEx as an attribute of
the visual objects, but i wonder if there is a way to retrieve the tooltip
window handle using a WinApi function.

So for instance, i have a button window handle and want to set the text of
the associated tooltip for that object. I do not have the tooltip window
handle, only the button window handle.

Does WinApi offer a way to do this ?

Dave.

There is a tooltip class in salextension in which the tooltip is
actually a dialog. Check that out.

I looked at the SalExtension tooltip (custom dialog).

I only want to use WinApi, no custom dialogs !

WinApi should hold all the functionality i need.
