Hi all,

How can I use something along these methods to return the command id and
tooltip text of each tray icon?  And does this work to retrieve the rect of
each tray icon?  I tried all sorts of stuff to retrieve the TOOLINFO or the
TBBUTTONINFOA to no avail... please assist if possible,

TIA,
Jay.
