WinApi vista tooltip

I was wondering how I should go about creating the special types of tooltip
displayed in Vista (for example, if you hover over the network or the volume
icon). Theyre the ones with the icons and the extra information.

I found a little bit of information on how to create the special tooltips,
but I've since lost the link and it didn't have anything technical on it.

I am not using .NET, it must be possible somehow using the WinApi.
