      Sorry I normally don't try to second guess other developers but could you explain why you are trying to do this? The only reason I ask is there may be a different approach than what I am thinking that would better suit your needs.

        Actually i want to capture all information of an office outlook items. When i take mouse on any item of office outlook my program should give all information available for that item.I have developed some part of it with IAccessible interface.But right now i am facing one problem with the new push button on the office outlook,it gives same information for New button for "Mail" "Calender" "Task" "Contacts" etc. I observe that the tootip is different each time for new button when Any of this selected from the left side of outlook.So i want to capture that tooltip so i can identify the new button is different. For you information Office outlook is 2003 and I am using vc++ 6.0 to develop this program. Thanx Jay.
