Description
Registers a tool with a Tooltip control.
Remarks
Although the name of the message implicitly indicates the "addition of a tool", it must be made clear that this message merely records a set of specific settings for what is called "a tool", however a ToolTip can be displayed even when there is no "tool" itself (a visual control with a handle). For this reason, this message should be interpreted as "add a set of specific settings for the display of a ToolTip ". A ToolTip window can be displayed in several different ways and each of these ways can be registered via the TTM_ADDTOOL message.
