Hi Mike,

You might have already looked here, but this page...

http://tinyurl.com/4q27u

describes some techniques of positioning tooltips.  In particular, have 
a look at the section "Tracking Tooltips," and the description of the 
TTF_CENTERTIP flag.  Never tried any of this myself, but it sounds 
promising.

This topic would also make for a good article :)

Cheers,
