I'm looking for a way to get the tooltip control (if any) which is associated with a given HWND. The text of the tooltip control would be sufficient, too. The closest thing I found is the TTM_GETTEXT message, but it's meant to be sent to the tooltip control itself instead of the tool it's associated with. I don't have a handle to the too...
