Tooltips for status bar panels are not correctly coded. I've done a bit of
research just now and I can't work out how to interpret the TTN_GETDISPINFO
message the application receives for status bar panels. I need to do some more
reading. Also note that any such tooltip will only show for panels that contain
an icon or text that can't fit into the panel.
