I'm in the middle of coding tooltips right now. I've got the structures
working, but they aren't responding. I'm not sure if I have to route events to
the tooltip structure, or what.
It's a lot of work to get some of these common controls working, and I'm really
not sure it's worth the effort - it may be easier to emulate the controls,
since I've already subclassed all the controls.
You shouldn't do a modal grab to get the mouse - this would cause too many
other side effects. The better way to emulate it would be to add some code in
the subclassed() loop, along with a timer. If the mouse has been sitting over a
control for a certain amount of time, pop up the tooltip. It is removed by the
mouse moving, a button being pressed, etc.
In any event, I hope to have tooltips for all controls working in a few days -
hopefully, without emulation.
