"Invalidate" tooltip of tray icon

[Semen Matusovski]

Hi, guys --
It possible to change an icon "imm." by Shell_NotifyIcon %NIM_MODIFY.
But how to stimulate refreshing of tooltip, when cursor is under icon ?

PS. Can't find NIF_INFO constant ...

Should there be one? Only found these in Win32api.inc,

%NIF_MESSAGE                                 = &H1
%NIF_ICON                                    = &H2
%NIF_TIP                                     = &H4

I guess if you use %NIF_TIP in NOTIFYICONDATA's uFlags, szTip
can be used to hold the text for the tooltip (ASCIIZ * 64).

Borje --
1) NIF_INFO Use a balloon-style tooltip instead of a standard tooltip.
It's a new style (IE 5, as I understand)
2)
It's not a problem to display a tooltip.
I want to change icon and tooltip by timer.
First works. Second ...
If cursor is under tray icon, a tooltip appears on the screen one time only.
If to move to another icon and to come back - again (it will be new tooltip).
But I want changes without such movements (similar an icon).
