No

Unless an OWLNext application is built with a manifest that specifies version 6 of the Common Controls, tool tips (TTooltip) do not appear in Unicode build mode. Tool tips do appear, with or without such a manifest, in ANSI build mode.

Tested with OWLNext 6.40 and VS 2013 on Windows 7.

    I found this on StackOverflow, which seems to discuss this very problem:

    for xp+, the header file CommCtrl.h assume you'll use comctl version 6, but if you does not enable it explictly with manifest file, you'll still use the old comctl version 5.x. Then here comes the problem, the size of TOOLINFO of version 5.x is different to version 6.x.
