I'm just trying to stream out text. This very simple sample streams the text

Portable C++ GUI framework
Thu, 26 Jun 2008 21:28:35 +0300
I am looking for a decent portable C++ (meaning C++ API, not C) GUI

Searching around I found in MSDN the article on "Implementing
Multiline ToolTips". If I understand it correctly, to implement

I'm a bit new to the Windows API, and I'm looking for help with how to
