Return value

Remarks

The tooltip control chooses where to display the tooltip window based on the coordinates you provide with this message.

To have tooltip windows displayed at specific coordinates, include the TTF_ABSOLUTE flag in the uFlags member of the TOOLINFO structure when adding the tool.
