Tooltip ques

Hi
I've seen a couple net samples for making tool tips.
They give the ability to show a tool tip over a control on the form in your
own app.
I'm wondering if there's a way to show a tool tip when cursor is over
another app,
with which my app is connected and interacting, maybe somehow by creating an
invisible window which could then get a hwnd which could then receive the
tooltip???

I don't know enough about creating windows via api to know if this is
possible or not.
I would need to somehow track the cursor's movement, detect when it fell
over certain objects in the external app, (autocad window), and then
depending on the object, show a tool tip with whatever message.

Thanks for any ideas
Mark
