I have tried every Windows API that I can think of to get the Tooltip
message that pops up from the tooltips_class32 window class but without
success. I know it can be done because SPY++ can retrieve them when they
are visible.

Does anyone know how SPY++ does it or how it can be done?

Thanks

Just a guess - have you tried using WM_GETTEXT?

I believe WM_GETTEXT is the message that GetWindowText uses but I tried it
in a SendMessage and it doesn't work either.
Thanks for the suggestions.
