#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiToolTip.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>
#Include <Misc.au3>

;enumerates all tooltips for given application window title or handle (app can be minimized)
;coordinate position data may or may not be in Enumtools return
;WinGetPos will return position if tooltip visible.

;a window can have one tooltip control and many tooltips (test app: VideoRedo MPEG Editor),
;or many tooltip controls with one or more tooltips per control (test app: Windows Media Player).

;Note: Windows Media Player returns inconsistent tooltip count per tool.
;(4 tool controls, 4 tooltips)
;if all visible controls are hovered over before running this script
;then tooltip count is high (7 tool controls and 30+ tooltips)
;tools are probably added/removed on demand.

;VideoRedo MPEG Editor (1 tool control only) tooltip count is consistently 21 tooltips.

;Caveat: YMMV
;some button tooltips may not be readable at all,
;or your going to have to use mouse control
;to hover over the button first to activate the tooltip
;while scanning for tooltips for that window title/hwnd in a loop.
