Replace WinXP taskbar Tooltip for another program

[RS_Arm]

Hi.

I need to replace the common Tooltip from WinXP taskbar for another application (a custom Tooltip). So, I need to run an application when the mouse hover a task button. Is this possible, programatically? If so, how?

Thank you

not sure about tooltip. but its posible to detect the mouse move over a taskbar button.

first, those buttons are built on a toolbar. that tool bar is built on the taskbar. to monitor the message send to the toolbar, it involve some subclassing. so you can monitor the messages sent to the toolbar for example wm_mousemove and take what ever the action needed.

you need to take a look at this thread
