Adding Tooltip to Scroll bar

Hi,

I am trying to develop a Tooltip ScrollBar.
I created a Scroll bar and AddTool-ed it to my TooltipCtrl. It all works
fine 
but I need the tooltip to appear on the left side of the thumb and not
on the center
of the Scrollbar. And the tooltip should appear only when I click or
drag the thumb.

So I would like to know the following :

(i) Can I position the tooltip anywhere around the Tool's bounding rect
? 
   (I see that I can use TTF_CENTERTIP for centering the tooltip. This
displays 
    the tooltip at the center of the Scrollbar, which I do not want )

(ii) Can I get the thumb's rectangle so that I can pass that to AddTool
and it displays
     the tooltip over the Thumb ?


Thanx in advance.

Bye
Venkat

This was discussed on the list a few months ago - check the archives for 
September 1996 (ftp://advn.com/pub/mfc/mfcl0139.zip or thereabouts). The title 
of the relevant messages is "tooltips w/ scroll bar thumb".

Mark Conway (mrc@mfltd.co.uk) was kind enough to provide a sample application 
that appears to do what you want, which is at
