Update tool tip

In one of my projects, I encountered a problem that I couldn't tell my tooltip to update itself without moving my mouse out of the tool tip rect. (Pie Analyzer).
I tried to create a tool tip window of my own, but it looked ugly and hard to make it the right size for whatever I want to display.
Today I just found something while I was playing with iTunes.
There is a button on the bottom of the playlist with a "+" on it.
Its tool tip says "Create a Playlist".
Now, if you press Option the tool tip immediate changes to "Create a Smart Playlist".
Anyone know how this is done?
This will be the answer to my problems.
Thanks.
