I simply cannot hook to them, it seems that all messages I 
tried do not hook. I have tried the following hooks and none
get called for tooltips.  Unless I am doing something wrong
but I can hook to any other window.  Also as a quick test I 
tried Spy++ from microsoft and this app too doesn't seem 
to trap the tooltip calls.  

What hook should I be using???


// Hooks I have tried with no result....
SetWindowsHookEx(WH_CALLWNDPROC,   
SetWindowsHookEx(WH_CALLWNDPROCRET,
SetWindowsHookEx(WH_CBT,           
SetWindowsHookEx(WH_GETMESSAGE,    

Thanks
Marc

PS: I will investigate some more in the mean time, since you 
say they should work....
