on WM5, is it possible to have tooltips in a Toolbar (i.e. not a CommandBar) ?

on Pocket PC 2003 (and earlier) we use a Command Bar (i.e. that control at
the bottom of the screen that contains the menu and some icons. in the
Command Bar, we are able to have tooltips associated with our icons.
on Pocket PC WM5, since the Command Bar cannot contain icons, we place our
icons in another control, similar to the Command Bar, which is in fact a
Toolbar, created with CreateToolbarEx. We place that Toolbar just above the
Command Bar, like in this image:

but apparently tooltips do not work in Toolbars - strangely, using
CommandBar_AddToolTips does not return an error if we use it to add ToolTips
to the Toolbar, but tapping and holding one of the icon on the Toolbar does
not cause the ToolTips to appear.
so my question is: is there a way (using standard controls and MSFT
routines) to make a Toolbar with working tooltips?
or do tooltips only work in old-style Command Bar (i.e. only on Pocket PC
2003 and earlier)?
tooltips are a useful API element (in fact there is even a Logo-requirement
that Icons controls should have Tooltips, in the MSFT Logo-certification
document). we would like to have them available in our Toolbar. Is there a
hack to resolve this issue?
