Hi,
I think that you should talk to developers and ask them how they control tooltips (get/set values).
It is quite possible that in this given application tooltips are implemented as windowless objects or/and as a properties of some customized control.
Maybe you will need to use some native method (from the Methods tab of Object Browser) to get/set tooltip's value.
One more possible option is to consider the Text Recognition functionality of TestComplete (https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/object-identification/text-recognition/index.html).
In other applications, I have had TestComplete recognize the tooltip window but it was unable to obtain its text from it until I mapped the base class to a tooltip class.
However, in this scenario, I can't even get TC to put a red rectangle around the window so that I can see information such wnd class that I need to map the object.
I have talked to the developers and seen what they've done, but it doesn't give me a clue as to why TC doesn't at least acknowledge the tooltip is there and is some kind of window.
