Okay.  In my continuing quest to create my own user-drawn tooltips
for a tray-icon, I've come up with this very ugly piece of code that
DOES WORK.  It will successfully detect when the mouse pointer is over
the icon for a certain amount of time, and when it has left the icon.

...can anybody tell me WHY this works?!!!!  :-P

LRESULT CMainWindow::WindowProc(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{

 if (message == WM_CAPTURECHANGED){
  if ((lParam != 0) && (tooltip)){
   ttcount = 0;
   tooltip = FALSE;
   TRACE("TOOLTIP OFF!!!\n");
   // <<<< remove the tooltip here >>>>
  }
 }

 if (uMouseMsg == WM_MOUSEMOVE){
  ::SetCapture(this->m_hWnd);
  KillTimer(ID_TT_TIMER);
  SetTimer(ID_TT_TIMER, 100, NULL);
 }
}


void CMainWindow::OnTimer(UINT nIDEvent)
{

 if (nIDEvent == ID_TT_TIMER){
   KillTimer(ID_TT_TIMER);
   ::ReleaseCapture();
   if (!tooltip){
    ++ttcount;
   }
   if ((ttcount == 5) && (!tooltip)){
    // <<<< produce the tooltip here >>>>
    TRACE("TOOLTIP ON\n");
    tooltip = TRUE;
   }
 }
}
