I have a window with a TabControl, created with a parent and only the
WS_SIZEBOX style.
Not far from the initial position for this window is a PushButton called
"Show toolbox" with the same tooltip as the caption. It tggles the window
visibility on and off.
When I clck on this buttton with the window still invisible, and if I
don't quickly move the mouse after clicking, the tooltip gets displayed
in a window the size of the window to display. It stays there till the
mouse pointer gets off the button's caption.
I could observe this spectacular effect only the first time I click the
button after opening the main window. Clicking the window invisible and
bringing it back does nthing unexpected, and the toolti displays in
the rectangl it is supposed to lie in.
The effect is fairly reproducible whenever I launch the application.
Any idea of where's the bug? Still Win98SE. All right, that's the bug in
the first place but it(s strange behaviour anyway.

It would really help if you could give me the smallest example program
that demostrates this effect. I tried to make one up based this
description above but I didn't really understand some of it.
