I haven't been able to find a concise chunk of code that allows me to add/display tooltips to a CStatic (and CLed) control. Obviously, the standard code to do so does not apply for this type of control. Can someone post code snippets?

Basic Tooltip HTML: Use a container element (like <div>) and add the "tooltip" class to it. When the user mouse over this <div>, it will show the tooltip text. The tooltip text is placed inside an inline element (like <span>) with class="tooltiptext" .
Use the setToolTipText method to set up a tool tip for the component.
A tooltip is a message box that is displayed when a user hovers over or gives focus to a UI element. The tool tip should be paired with an interactive UI element like a button. Tooltips should be used sparingly and contain succinct, supplementary information.
Definition: A tooltip is a brief, informative message that appears when a user interacts with an element in a graphical user interface (GUI). Tooltips are usually initiated in one of two ways: through a mouse-hover gesture or through a keyboard-hover gesture.
I don't know if this is still needed, but here's what I used to solve the problem: just add SS_NOTIFY to dwStyle when creating the static label. (or simply set "Nofity" "True" in the properties). That worked fine for me.
