dynamic tooltips

I have a small timer application that will minimize to the systray.
Currently, the tooltip displayed for the NotifyIcon will show the time.
Static. What I would like is, while the tooltip is visible, for the
time (text) to keep updating. I beleive there is a way to do it in
C++, but I am not a C++ prgrammer. C# be for me. Can anyone help?

I have tried using SendMessage(notifyIcon1.Icon.Handle,TTM_UPDATE,0,0)
but it doesn't work.

TIA,

hi

what if you use a timer and refresh the tooltip text?

You could also use one of the mouse events to change it in realtime.
