Tooltips & CTreeCtrl

Environment: VC++ 4.0, Win 95
I'm developing an app under VC++ 4.0 with a CTreeCtrl on the main
window. I've just recently noticed that when I add items to it that
cause a horizontal scrollbar to appear and I rest my cursor over the
long item, a tooltip appears. I've never seen this functionality
before. Does anyone know how to turn it on/off (there is no tree style
bit for tooltips). I just recently installed IE 3.0. Was a new
Comctl32.dll installed with this new functionality? If so, does this
mean that I won't be able to turn the tooltips on/off until I upgrade
VC?
I like the tooltips, but the problem is that they don't always appear.
They only seem to appear after clicking on a tree item, then moving
focus to another control, then resting my cursor over the long item.

It is part of new ComCtl32.dll. I don't believe you can turn it off. However,
it should work fine and I don't believe you should worry about it as *all*
applications that use a tree view (eg Windows Explorer) get this as well, so
it's presense will be consistent accross applications. If you turn it off,
your users may wonder why and complain that they cannot see long items like
they can in every other Windows 95 application.

Strange, they seem to work OK for me. And they work OK in Explorer
Perhaps it is something to do with your active windows or focus. I think it is
a symptom of some other problem rather than a problem with the tooltips
themselves.

I've had problems with non-MFC, Win32 tooltips only appearing when you
actually clicked on the control. The problem was attributed to
incremental linking. After a full relink, the problem disappeared.
Maybe this is the same problem?
